Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread

Sounds like parts machines few and far between for these. Maybe I can engineer something.

Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread

I just checked my Everest K2 to see what the CR lever looked like...unfortunately the levers are not even close on the K2 versus the K3.

Scored this 1959 SM3 with No. 75 script for $30! Only needed the rubber washer fix. No case (have the key tho lol) and the original cleaning kit, too!

Shifty, for some reason your photo link does not work to display your photo.

Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread

Mikeytap,

I found a couple of photos of an Everest K3 return lever. 

Seems like it must pivot up/down for use-to-storage positions, as well.

Thanks for those shots Pete. Good News. My friend tells me he has the detached arm!

Hope he kept it on ice...  LOL 

Good news on the lever.  Let us know how she types when you have it home.

Mikeytap,

Here is a link to some info. about the early Sabb typewriter company in Italy that became Everest and then eventually bought out by Olivetti :

I'm embarrassed to admit that it took me a few seconds to get that; it was very funny once I did.

Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread

This is the Everest K3 a friend gave me recently. It is uncleaned because I didn't want to spend time on it if I could not repair the broken carriage arm bracket, and I could not. It has an all plastic shell and I assume the ribbon cover was a different issue plastic as it has turned green. Looking through the innards, my impression is that these were cheaply made.
