Thanks, Pete!  KMMs are always popping up around here.  KHMs are tougher to find, especially in decent cosmetic condition.  I have seen a couple in the Portland area, but the sellers wanted way too much money.  The search continues...

OregonJim,

There is a nice KHM on Boise, ID Facebook marketplace.  That is about 14 miles from my home.

Thanks again, Pete.  That's the first one I've seen with a reasonable price.  Too bad it's so far away.  It does give me hope of finding one locally...eventually...

Jim, if you were serious about getting this machine and you work out the deal with the seller, I could pick it up for you and store it in a plastic bag in my home until March 2023.

I am planning a road-trip, then, to some typewriter shops in Portland OR and we could connect and I could give you your machine then.

Just a thought...

 

That's very kind of you, Pete.  I'll see if I can get some more info from the seller - it's tough to evaluate the condition and completeness without seeing it in person.  I don't mind tinkering/adjusting/cleaning, but I don't have a bunch of spare parts to replace anything that might be broken or missing...

Jim, I've got a parts KMM, so if you need any parts that are the same in the KHM as the KMM, I could pull the part of my machine and send it down to you.

Another one FS in Boise ID...I think this is a different one than the earlier posting...
