The Post Man Fit the Entire Fox Typewriter Company Into My Mail Box

I did not notice I mis-spelled Luxe until I had this uploaded.

The pages are perfectly straight. I could not get the book to lay exactly straight and aligned in my scanner so they display a bit tilted.

Postscript.
I planned a longer typecast, but I used Mead Erasable Bond Typing Paper that was so thin, even folded in half, that it would not feed properly through my Montana.

The calendar was from a Kikstarter project. I do not know if it is still available.

I got the book from Tyler's Blog.  Here is the link to the book.

At one time I chose my Hermes Baby over this typewriter.  Then I cleaned and lubricated both of them.  (Both have hard platens and soft feed rollers.)  Now I prefer this one over the Hermes. The Montana Luxe is a much nicer typer and loads paper without the paper catching on the ribbon covers.

I have a Baby

This is what happens when I do a typecast from the work bench

I also repeat myself

I use this on the chrome and other non painted metal and plating

Same as FinishLine, but from Lowe's it is $3.00 to $4.00 cheaper.

Not bad for $5.00, it works too, but smells like rotten tobacco smoke

Can you guess which is the Montana Luxe and which is teh Hermes Baby?

The Luxe, Skyriter, and Baby

Skyriter is a bit larger, taller and heavier than the Baby

Original Type Bar Rest

Type bars did not align.

Some cork was missing.

The shades were really flattened areas of paint that needed to wrinkle again to match the rest of the housing. This may have been caused by me towel drying some places harder than others or even from holding the housing in that area, or it could have been normal wear that I did not notice before cleaning.

New Type Bar Rest Installed

All the bars nicely aligned

The obvious gap in the rest is now gone.
