    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I agree entirely. The former being so perfect.

    Help with typewritter ribbon!

    Which Singer is it? Singer didn't make its own typewriters so it is either a Smith Corona or a Royal. Royal made them in the mid to late 60s: Aristocrats and Safari body styles. The ribbon is pretty easy for those. The Smith Coronas I don't know as well because I don't have one. The SCs were...

    Doctor.... Who? Spoilers! Really, don't read if ur not up to date.

    There was talk of filming some of the lost Hartnell episodes with Bradley. I don't know if anything became of it, but what an intriguing idea. Theoretically, one could recast any Doctor, the Fourth for instance. However, we digress. My favorite episodes are either emotional or...

    Doctor.... Who? Spoilers! Really, don't read if ur not up to date.

    Spoiler: I think that the soldier was left behind as a symbol of The Doctor, the idea of The Doctor; the smartest man in the room who doesn't need a gun to solve problems. Also, slightly broken.

    Doctor.... Who? Spoilers! Really, don't read if ur not up to date.

    "Listen" was a great episode with some tight, fun, and interesting writing. I've read some of the criticisms on line and it is very common to accuse Moffat of being too clever as if being clever is perjorative. Too meta, perhaps, but clever? This episode was both epic in scale and very small...

    Doctor.... Who? Spoilers! Really, don't read if ur not up to date.

    Agreed, Mae, they are finally turning Clara into a character fully formed. As for the extra lives bit, I may have gone for a regeneration with little explanation and that would have kept up a certain tension as in, will he be able to regenerate again? Or it could have had something to do with...

    Doctor.... Who? Spoilers! Really, don't read if ur not up to date.

    So, after a disastrous end to the Matt Smith era, we are now gifted with Peter Capaldi. I was wondering what my fellow Doctor Who fans thought of him as The Doctor so far? Doctor Who has been such a roller coaster of excellent to miserable episodes as of late. the 50th anniversary special...

    Hugged by many women while wearing velvet pants

    I don't know what this is and why it's in G&A. Unless someone PMs me a compelling reason to reopen this, I'm shutting it down.

    The MONTH from HELL!

    I see this post more as a personal blog sort of thing and so I am going to cut it off. Otherwise we would be overrun with diary-like entries, and that is not what we are here for. People are free to express their support through PMs.

    How'd You Get Where You Are?

    I grew up in Philadelphia. Juniata Park to be precise. I spent my weekends reading books on dinosaurs and Norse Mythology in the Philadelphia Public Library and made my way through 12 years of Catholic School. I didn't have high expectations for college, although I was clever enough to hold it...

    Modern Products with Vintage Style Packaging

    My wife and I bought bikes that look vintage. 60s/70s anyhow.

    Wonderful photos, Frank. Looks like a great event.

    Typewriters

    This is my Hermes Rocket. I put my hand in the photo for perspective. It is the smallest and lightest typewriter that I have yet to experience from the 1950s. It is truly the laptop of its day. It is also a very energetic and responsive typer; very fast, and fun. It also makes this great...

    The general decline in standards today

    I appreciate the civil tones of these discussions, but this is beginning to cross the line of political speech. In fact, it's an all-out incursion. I would appreciate it if you would all turn the conversation back toward its original premise so that the thread may remain open.

    The Royal P with Vogue Typeface - The Rarest Typewriter.

    The spacing is fairly wide and the font is a pica typeface, which is relatively larger. On the Ps it always looks like this, but were it on an Aristocrat or an HH, it may look different.

    The Royal P with Vogue Typeface - The Rarest Typewriter.

    Looks like a very similar type has appeared on a Royal Aristocrat! http://cambridgetypewriter.blogspot.com/2011/11/rare-art-deco-typestyle.html Leave it to my friend, Tom Furrier of Cambridge Typewriter to find this one. He also lists its official name with Royal: "Modern Pica Block RA 280."...

    The Royal P with Vogue Typeface - The Rarest Typewriter.

    I think I understand your question. The easiest way to know if it is in a machine is to type with it, obviously. If it is on an auction house and you cannot, then I would restrict my search to the Royal P. This typeface was designed for these machines and so the law of averages favors you...

    Thank you all. It is an awesome machine and I cannot get over the typeface.

    The Royal P with Vogue Typeface - The Rarest Typewriter.

    This is the circa 1930 Royal P typewriter with Vogue typeface. It is perhaps the rarest typewriter from US companies. Mine is a lovely Duotone brown into tan color. It is far from perfect, but types well. Vogue was a Jazz Age typeface meant to be edgy and modern in its day and now is...
