Entstehung 18

1939 Torpedo 18a 234156

Entstehung ≈ Genesis

I didn't want to call it Genesis 18, because Sodom and Gomorrah.

If you ever want a really strange read… anyway, the German word sounds cooler.

Triumph Norm

(Alas, I had no clever title this time.)

A separate but somewhat related piece of information is that one can restore a bit of the shine back to Bakelite like this by wiping some light oil on the surface (from Richard Polt) and I also found out independently when cleaning up my Triumph De Jur Perfekt that a little light oil will help restore the richness of the colour of the brown keys on those models (they have a tendency to fade).

Typewriters for Sale/I'm Moving...to Where?

The Remingtons

Remington Noiseless 8
I love this so much but it's rather big...and it doesn't type a full line due to a cracked carriage. I won't ask much for it. It has a special Medium Roman typeface that's kind of rare. With case. Make an offer. As far as I can remember, there was a little improvement in condition from this typecast, but it still types just the same.

Remington Deluxe Model 5
I love this one a lot too but I got my Rem Portable #1 which sort of makes up for it. This one's fully functional (other than a finicky bell) and looks rather nice. With case. $40 OBO. The link is not about it, just typed with it.

Remington Quiet-Riter
Remember my big project? Cleaning and oiling and all that. I doubt if anybody'll buy it. It has a finicky Remington bell. With case. It's actually going to be for free. I don't have a typed page by it, it seems.

Remington Streamliner
This one might be a little bit desirable. All's well with it and shipping would be cheap. With case/lid. $40 OBO.

The Rest

Sears Electric 12
Not expecting to get much from this. A small offer would suffice. But they're darn nice typewriters for being electrics. I have another one almost just like it which is the only reason I'm parting. With case. As you can see from the photo on the linked post, I switched out the brown base for a green one from a parts machine.

Royal Royalite
Cute and small and with a fun typeface. It wants a home. Nothing wrong with this. With a lovely deep red leatherette case. $25 OBO. No post by this since I found it when I wasn't typecasting during the winter.

Royal Safari
My best-typing Royal portable, but I don't like how it looks. You might. All is in order. With case. $20 OBO.

A couple of these hurt a little to part with. But I really need to cut my collection down to 25 before I go. That means these might end up at the thrift store. Ouch. Or if our typewriting Arizona teacher wants any of them after the dust settles. I might manage to find somebody here who'd want one. We'll see.

Okay, so it's not in my top 20. But it's in my top 20 pre-1980.
