The 6th Grade Language Arts class should certainly appreciate this wonderful addition! <br /><br />Very cool, indeed.Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11633967390492270136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-40237323979569393572011-09-16T07:44:08.872-04:002011-09-16T07:44:08.872-04:00@notagain: No stripping necessary in this case, I ...@notagain: No stripping necessary in this case, I just spray painted right onto the original brown paint. Thank you for the help!<br /><br />@Marty: It really didn't take that long -- just an hour here and an hour there, on several weekends. The amount of free time that I have varies, of course, and sometimes is nil. It does help that I never watch TV and shop as little as possible!<br /><br />@Mike: I still don't know how to make money from the actual typewriting!<br /><br />@maschinengeschrieben: I hope you'll have a chance soon to try one of these '50s Smith-Coronas. They're very well engineered.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-64689018512559935092011-09-16T02:49:06.738-04:002011-09-16T02:49:06.738-04:00Nice machine!
