Good luck! Patience is key. Keep searching long enough and one will eventually pop out from hiding. The hardest part for me was turning down the machines that were *almost* in the condition that I wanted. I had to keep reminding myself that when I eventually found what I wanted, it would be all the more satisfying.
Thanks! You aren’t kidding about the paper rest. Seemed like every other SG1 was missing that part. The other common damage victim was the paper injector, which was either missing the plastic handle or completely snapped off.
Congratulations for finding your holy grail, Flynn! It’s one mammoth of a looker and it types great too.
We all know how it feels to hunt and to finally snag the “prey.” It took me months to land my Royal Caravan fauz bois and finally getting hold of one was a high, to say the least.

Now it’s my turn to find one, I hope. It’s great to learn of your success.

Yay! You bagged an elephant! And it even has an intact plastic paper holder — that is this machine’s Achilles’ heel. Enjoy.

Thanks, Ton! The searching and waiting was wearing at times, but absolutely worth it in the end, as you know.
… And I’m still Royal-ly jealous of your Caravan. That is one smart looking typer!
