Hello! I'm a new typewriter enthusiast, found your blog through Welcome to the Typosphere. I'd love a pad for my mid-'60s Olympia SM-9; out of town at the moment and don't have it to hand, but I think it's about 12" x 12 1/2" at the base?
ReplyDeleteSure! Just let me know when you are back in town what the measurements are and I'll be glad to make one for you! The SM-9 is a great machine!
ReplyDeleteHi Matt. Discovered you from Life in a Typewriter Shop. And heard you on CBC (good job!).
ReplyDeleteThat Remington Monarch is beautiful. Reminds me of the Underwood Finger-Flight (which is with Tom F. getting rejuvenated!). I think I prefer the testured finish, but that glossy one is stunning.
I would love a to get a pad--two, actually--from you. Will e-mail you.
Great business idea! What do the pads look like?
ReplyDeleteThey basically look like the original ones, but without those zig zag edges.
ReplyDeleteI emailed you a couple of days ago, but I'm not sure if it came through? I've gotten back and measured the SM-9, and it's roughly 12 1/2 by 11 3/4 inches at the base. Let me know how I can pay you, and I'll give you my mailing address. :) My email is citharadraconis at gmail dot com. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Just shoot me another e-mail. I don't think I got it.
ReplyDeleteEmailed you at the address you list. Let me know if you don't see it!
ReplyDelete(Also, sorry, it's a copy of the email I sent before and a bit outdated. I'd be receiving the pad at my DC address.)
