inmyriadbitsPictures of my typewriter! It is my current favorite thing right now. I found the serial number, and have determined that it is a Royal KMG manual typewriter made in 1950. It's in astoundingly good condition, enough so that I wonder if it was just never used, or if someone got it serviced right before I bought it. That, or it's just a really excellent piece of machinery that was treated well all it's life. I just think it's funny that I now own a typewriter that is the exact same age as my mother. :)
I spent a couple of hours yesterday scrubbing off the type settings with an old toothbrush and some rubbing alcohol, and then adjusted the key touch control (which changes how hard the type hits the paper relative to how hard you hit the keys), and now the letters come out beautifully.
I am turning into such a crazy person.
The subject line, by the way, is something P.G. Wodehouse said when asked how he wrote. ♥
