Hello folks,
Yesterday I drove down to Glendale California to pick up my Friden
Flexowriter. It's in fairly good shape, but will definitely need
some serious TLC before I even think about plugging it in.
I've put up some initial photos here (caution: the thumbnails link to
very large files).

It's a model SPS-C. I'll need to do some digging to find the serial
number and determine when it was built.
This appears to be an upper-case only model. The printable character
set on the type heads can be seen here:

The upper-case letters all print "~", apparently. The upper case
numbers print the corresponding typewriter characters.
I'm sure I'll have more once I open it up and start poking around at
the internals. In the meantime, if you have a Flexowriter, would you
mind letting me know what your model number is?
Thanks!
