This must be a great-grandcub of the fox who appeared in '60s Smith-Corona ads. By the way, the other day I saw a fox trotting through the cemetery near my house. First time ever!
Congrats! I've lusted after one of these since being outbid on one in '10, but never ran across another. My motivations were the looks and the badge, but hearing that it's a nice worker is even better. (:
There is one on eBay right now. Looks pretty good and it has a notation of the Commodore model number! http://www.ebay.com/itm/142015155482?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
That fox is getting a workout! Live that machine though.intend to get one the same for myself.
ReplyDeleteNice lines - especially the gentle backslope on the typebasket cover's sides
ReplyDeleteLooks and types like new!

I think you're very right. I'm surprised their family wasn't employed more often for typewriter ads, with "the quick brown fox" and all.
DeleteIt seems like everybody but me has seen a fox!

ReplyDeleteFigures, before computers there were typewriters. Never thought Commodore made them though. Good find!
ReplyDeleteI´ve got that same model. Priceless.
