These mid-Fifties S-Cs are indeed sturdy machines, and beautiful to write on. My circa 1956 Silent Super gets regular use. Congrats on a bargain! Best of luck with NaNoWriMo, too.
Thanks so much, Tee! I was actually surprised at how smoothly it types. Comfortable, too! Really just a very nice machine (and a good match for my early Skyriter).
As long as I'm not typing in the middle of the night (and not writing about her), I think the girlfriend will do fine. She's actually been nagging - I'm sorry, encouraging - me to get busy and START writing one!

DeleteThanks, teeritz!
ReplyDeleteExcellent typewriter. She'll handle a novel in November, for sure. (But will your girlfriend?)
