Two typewriters on a wooden bench in front of a large book case. Surrounding it are 7 more standard typewriters of various makes and models
My current collection of 9 standard typewriters clocks in at 289.6 pounds (131.6 kg). Which one(s) should I take to the type-in at Vromans Bookstore this Saturday, May 10th at 1:00pm?

Which machines are you bringing?

  1. If you brought two, you could select two that are on opposite ends of the timeline or style like the yellow royal and the olympia.

    I wish that I was closer to y’all. I’d love to check out a type-in one day. I haven’t seen one in PDX since I started accumulating them.

    1. It is on the second floor, but they’ve fortunately got an elevator. I’m thinking that I’ll take two standards, 3 portables, and 1 ultraportable.
