Today I started working on the 2nd Flexowriter.
First I should point
out that this is a newer machine than the first one. This one has an
~13,500 serial number and the first one has an ~4,000 serial number.
I *think* our one that I want to try and get running had a serial up in
the 20000 range; it looks far more like this second one of yours in
build (than the first) only with a more modern feel.
Watch the little tape advance knobs on the left hand side; ours are
plastic with a small lip to them and both have been damaged (either from
something slamming into them or from someone tipping the machine over
onto that end, where the knobs would take all the weight of the
machine). Easy to catch them on something when moving the machine around
at any rate.
machine is that all the removeable covers are dark
blue instead of brown.
ours is a mixture of white and mid-blue - looks rather smart :) As said
in a private email, 4-digit model number starting with a 2, but I can't
remember the rest :/
cheers
