All of my machines look so businesslike, they'd look uncouth and rough next to any of your machines.<BR/><BR/>Duffy, I've corrected the situation.

Two 50s Smith Coronas that I pretty much got for the price of shipping (and neither from far away), but as it turns out, one has a ribbon advance problem, and the other skips. I've exhausted all of my meager typewriter repair skills to no avail.<BR/><BR/>I don't do eBay anymore.<BR/><BR/>Now, I'm stuck with 'em. I won't give them to Goodwill because they'd only be thrown away, I can't sell them locally without feeling guilty about passing on trouble, and I'm nervous enough about shipping them that I haven't seriously researched repair shops. I could drive several hours to Blue Moon in Portland, OR, but I'm scared of city driving.<BR/><BR/>So they sit there on the shelf, looking at me reproachfully.
