I'll mention it soon.<br /><br />Richard- We have some pretty amazing coincidences that happen here. Like someone will call looking for a Hermes 2000 which I don't have and the next day someone else comes in and sells me or donates a nice Hermes 2000. This scenario happens so often that you can't call it a coincidence anymore. <br /><br />Bill- I know what you mean about those wish lists. After I read Robert Messenger's "The Magnificent Five" my wish list quadrupled.<br /><br />Cameron- Thanks for your nice comments. Folding Coronas are amazing machines yet tempermental and awkward.

I...The typeface on the Futura is indeed excellent!<br /><br />It seems that you'd be able to sell the Corona 3 folding with no problem. They are cool machines! <br /><br />One of them rekindled my interest in typewriters about 10 years ago. It's probably not in as good condition as the one you just acquired, but I type on it occasionally.

However, it keeps going lower on the list when I see neat older machines I think I'd rather have.

I have heard of them, but have never had the chance to see a carriage move left to right. <br /><br />The typeface on the Futura is quite nice, and the Remington looks amazing. Fantastic!
