I chose to remove the logo badges with a razor blade to the underside, and reattached with small blobs of epoxy.

Good idea.

This is the photo that got me to thinking about only adding a splash of colour to the ribbon covers on the Travellers.

Singer/song-writer Neil Diamond had a hit out some decades ago..."Forever In Blue Jeans".

It looks like someone did a denim fabric wrap on the Traveller.

They can put denim on just about anything. I have a Fender Princeton amp like this one clad in denim. Fans of the show Portlandia know how they dressed up everyday items: "put a bird on it!"



 

Gabby,

I keep waiting for someone to do a Trompe-l'œil treatment on one of those Olivetti-Underwood 21s where the inner workings of a typewriter are shown in 3D perspective to open up to the guts of a modern PC.

I have one of those typewriters...but love mine as-is...since it looks so Swedish.

Mike,

I have an old pair of these in a nice rustic "camel" colour hanging somewhere in the back of my closet.

Maybe I have room for one more Traveller in my life...???...

Ok, just one more, then we're closing the window on those.
