I have one I might like to send over in the future. It'd be a bit as I need to work on it a little but it's a nice light-weight plastic machine.. in like a power blue too. I think it's Starlite, maybe?an *sshole with a typewriter.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17601390528012126726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-81499103993993875662012-11-03T13:28:52.290-04:002012-11-03T13:28:52.290-04:00Thank you for sharing more of this with us.

I hope you'll provide updates periodically. I was casting about looking for something similar in my own bailiwick and just moments ago I saw a promo for one near my home. I immediately got on their blog and offered typewriters. We'll see what they say. If they take some I'll blog it. notagainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915679111849352765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-83384863389926315172012-11-01T20:30:43.820-04:002012-11-01T20:30:43.820-04:00Richard, so happy to see the Studio 46 in action a...Richard, so happy to see the Studio 46 in action at WordPlay! It sure is being put to use in a more purposeful way than just sitting on my shelf awaiting its round among 14 other typewriters. As I told you, I've always imagined it to be a draw for the younger set since it is bold and fun. Thanks to you for opening up this chance for us to participate even in a token way. And many thanks to Libby for her wonderful vision.<br /><br />Nat, you are awesome to send a machine in the long distance way you did!Ton S. https://www.blogger.com/profile/10691201724230891974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-3456067477418110832012-11-01T20:22:21.042-04:002012-11-01T20:22:21.042-04:00Those are some wonderful donations.

The one in my collection is, in more than one sense, responsible for my starting collecting typewriters. I've been typing away on it since 1983 and it's still my favorite typer!<br /><br />I am really impressed with the initiative; wish there was something like that around here. Then again, the lack of a similar "club" might be an opportunity to try and start something like that... maybe I'll start by placing a couple of typers in my shop and invite passersby to try them... <br /><br />Miguel Chávezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411154570699775904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-30448644976000361452012-11-01T20:13:13.063-04:002012-11-01T20:13:13.063-04:00I love this!
