I recently attended an auction and picked up an Underwood Champion portable typewriter and was surprised to discover it had a stand built into the bottom of the case. Not a lot of info on them on the Web, does anyone else here have one? Are they common or no? Also acquired a Royal Heritage Deluxe which is a new model on me. The holiday season seems to be bringing them out...

That is very interesting. I have a faint memory of once having seen such a contraption on some website, but never in person. Any chance you could post a few photos of the case? It must weigh a ton, especially with the typewriter in it.

I suck at putting pictures on the web but there is one for sale right now on ebay. Not mine and I'm not affiliated.

Just searched eBay and couldn't find anything. Could you post a link to the auction?

Thanks. It's a cool contraption, have you tried yours out? How stable is it? I can see it coming in handy at times, but at the cost of what must be a considerable amount of extra weight. What makes it even more clever is that you get a small table to put your notes on beside the machine.
