Another Thrift Store Find

Michigan has typewriters.  Maybe not in abundance or at $5.00, but this is the 5th one I found since moving here a year ago.  In the 15 years I lived in Florida I found an electric and 2 or 3 wedges in the wild. Go back to Virginia when I was not collecting typewriters (about 20 years ago) I would see at least one typewriter at every yard or garage sale and several each time I visited Happy's Flea Market in Roanoke.

Inside, a very nice SCM.  This typewriter is quite clean.

Oh!  Look what is in the left corneer.

Looks unused.  The key tops look a bit scuffed by the slugs.

Even has automatic 5 space paragraph indentation, and a tab set/clear rocker.

Under the tiny plastic box is a diagram for the way to store the Change-A-Type set.  It shows the box in this orientation.

This machine is quite clean. Looks like it was hardly used.

Notice the key tops on this Classic 12.  They are not all the same height.  I have seen this on many Classic 12, Galaxie 12, and Sterling typewriters of the 70s

Notice the key tops on the Forecast 12?  They are all the same height.

This book arrived in the mail today.

The images were made using my cell phone and I did very little editing other than cropping and attempting to get them all the same size. The typecast and book images are from my scanner and should be the width of the blog, but they are loading either too small or two large even though the pixel width is the same as the blog pixel width. 

Seems like I am back in electronics school when I learned ground is ground is ground except....  So just as a grounded conductor may not be the same ground potential I guess Google pixels, monitor pixels, and scanner pixels are not the same.

One day I'll get around to calibrating my monitor to my printer to the scanner, and maybe even my Olympus digital imaging devices. I'll need to if I decide to do post processing of the RAW files.
