type-in

I was at work, sneaking into the type-in.  The timing worked out perfectly, though I'd rather have been typing-in than updating plugins. Gotta replace that craptop soon.

New to the team

I make that out to be 1931. My first ever 1930's typewriter!



That typebar isn't stuck - I was leaning on the keys

Still researching these.  I'm wondering if I'll see an endorsement from a typing champ.

I kinda think this one was in a collection.

ITAM update

Forgot to mention I also had to select music, as well as bring food, which meant estimating attendance, which led to scrambling to get the word out.

This is how we do it
























                                                                                                                                                                                 













To remind you of the tune, here is a link to the original. Next one to do Karaoke sing this ok?


This is how we do it
It’s Friday night, and I feel all right
The party is here on the net now
So I reach for my Sterling and open it up
Designated writer get my keys unstuck
Hit the margin ‘cause I’m faded
Honeys in the ‘sphere say “notagain we made it!”
It feels so good at my desk tonight
The literary nerds and the guys with Lamys
Alphasmart bangers forgot about the type-in
You gotta get your groove on, before you start the next page
So tip up your cup and throw your hands up
And let me hear the party say

I’m kinda buzzed and it’s all because
This is how we do it
Typosphere does it like nobody does
This is how we do it
To all pencasters and writing masters
This is how we do it
Let’s take up the slack, bring the old-school back
This is how we do it

This is how we do it, all hands are on the keys
And move them from a to z
If you’re an E.B. White  or a wanna-be McCarthy
You see Goodwill’s been good to me
Ever since I was a lower-case T
But now I’m a big T.  The girls see I got the iron
A ten-dollar anvil

If you were from where I’m from then you would know
That I gotta write mine on a big black Rand
You can write yours on a three-two
Whatever it is, the type-in’s underway
So flip up the bail and slide on the rails
And let me hear the party say

I’m kinda buzzed and it’s all because
This is how we do it
Typosphere does it like nobody does
This is how we do it
LFP, Writing Ball, all my homies
This is how we do it
I’m a noveling hack on the old-school rack
This is how we do it

Peerless Rubber Keys

DON'T PANIC! THEY ARE NOT 'CHOPPED!

This is how they fit on.  An incomplete set can be annoying.
The recent auctions haven't even mentioned the keytops, I just happened to notice them in the photos.

One possible reason there are incomplete sets.  The cat could not leave them alone
