Fraternal (Torpedo 18) Twins

Okay, okay. They're not twins. Not even fraternal twins. But I wanted to play on the title of this post about my other two Torpedoes. I've actually been living and doing things lately, hence why my posts are no longer uploaded at a manic pace! Though I feel like I'm getting a little out of practice on these double typewriter feature posts. Forgot to mention--I have the cream + brown Torpedo a soapy bath which seemed to help it a little, but not much. I also had to adjust the left margin and the margin release.

The typewriter packing job of your dreams

Combined international shipping for typewriters?

Isn't this horribly wrong and unforgivably foolish--a tinderbox waiting to explode?

I beg of you--think again!

(In this case combined shipping was the dealbreaker. Alone, these weren't worth the cost. But with the money saved, I couldn't resist.)

The ink stains even don't show up well in my photos. They are faint, but fairly common.

To borrow the title from a very good song.

And to be ridiculous, and provide a senseless answer to this.

Screws for adjustments. Identical screws are found on the other side.

I forgot to mention in the typecast that the @ symbol surely is one of the very best I've seen on a typewriter. It's simply perfect!

I stuck a metal-spool ribbon in this to photograph it, though I didn't use this blue/red ribbon as the vibrator on this needs a little tweaking not to run into the red sometimes.
