Description:
Renowned by the two-finger bangers worldwide. Imagine this as your only typewriter (if true) on the journey through multiple novels.
The L32 would set you back $75 ($783). An SM-9 would cost you an extra 40% or $120 ($1245). The shifting sands of 'quality' or 'value' as a perceptual experience (Pirsig) illuminated through a typewriter.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
