Description:
My first and most reliable machine, not to mention loudest. But of course, not in a bad way - nothing quite soothes the soul like typebars striking platen on an SM3. These West German tanks are unmatched in their manufacturing quality, and I’m confident mine will be writing on for another 60 years or more!
Writers: Writers: Don DeLillo, Anais Nin, John Updike, Harlan Ellison, Woody Allen

I'm an AP English instructor and poet who has married my processes and passions to these fine, old machines.
