Comparison of the TP1 and TP2

Sorry for the typos.  I proof read before posting and somehow never catch them before I post and, as now, I am too lazy to redo the post.   I need proof reading practice!

Smith-Corona Classic-12 Script Preview



After working in the yard Monday after dinner I decided to sit down with a Yuengling and relax, but a typewriter case sitting next to me kept calling.  So I picked it up, opened it and typed the above bit of nothingness.

I picked up this typewriter a few weeks ago and have yet to clean or do anything else with it.  I have others to post first, but somehow this one managed to bump its way up the posting priority list.

Seems to work fine except the lower part of the y and f are a bit faint.

More later.  I have a Royal Custom-III to finish, and Noiseless Model 7 and a Royal Crescent that all need cleaning first.

Sorry for the type / computer cast.  Wife's sleeping in the next room and I am too lazy to head to the garage to type.

Oh, Yuengling?  The oldest and largest brewery in the U.S.A. Surprising since I remember them as a small family owned and run brewery on the side of the hill on Mahantongo St in Pottsville, PA only about 1/2 hour drive from where I lived.
Problem in FL is the limited product, no Premium beer or Chesterfield Ale, only Lager.

A Carbon Ribbon and Techno Pica



Notice that this Hermes does not have a card guide.  If anyone has one as a spare part or a non working 3000 for parts please let me know.  I am looking for knobs, a card guide and a platen.
