I guess the Williams was the difficult part, the question being: put it in line with the other machines (keyboard in front), or put it sideways so the mechanism is visible? At home I put it sideways as well, but it brakes the pattern...

One of my golden ...Oooh, what a beautiful display!<br /><br />One of my golden dreams would be to have my collection in display in proper cases like these. Nice, wooden structure with sturdy glass shelves, and ideally a proper source of light on the top... Fantastic way to keep the machines! Alas, that sort of display would require quite a bit of space... <br /><br />Congratulations on the display! You are sharing some very beautiful machines there.

I declined once I saw how flimsy the glass shelving looked. I didn't want to chance it with my QDL, Quiet-Riter or SM3 and the only typewriters in my collection that might have been light enough were the Lettera 32, Groma Kolibri and Remette. Didn't seem like I had enough machines to make it worthwhile.<br />Looking at your display, Richard, and it seems that the glass shelves are at least twice the thickness of the ones I had to work with. <br />Congrats on a nice display. You'll find that many people will stop to check it out on their way into the library.teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-8940504232722685742014-01-03T21:38:37.500-05:002014-01-03T21:38:37.500-05:00Ping, you know me well.
