OK, here are their carapaces–what typewriters live inside these shells❓
Hometown Business Machines’ tech Michael Ardito had a meet-up at Trophy Bikes with Brian Kruk of Typewriters 101–here are the machines Mr. A worked on; seemed like a good oppty for a Case Study! Will post the “contents” in a day or two; let us know yr best guesses.
I can’t even guess on some, but I’ll say (from L to R):
Smith Corona Classic 12
Royal Quiet Deluxe
?
Royal Royalite
Underwood something?
?
?
l-r: Smith Corona Classic something-ish; Smith Corona Sterling-ish; no idea!; Olivetti-ish; Continental-ish; Remington Portable; Adler Tippa-ish.
Basically I don’t know but it’s fun.
