Re: Skyriter....This Week...
The garage photos, yesterday, were a bit washed-out.
Here are a couple more that captures the true colours a bit more accurately.

Nice addition to your collection, though your cat looks unimpressed.

Mike,
Usually "Lily" is right there when a new machine shows up. But I think the new-paint smell of the metal lid cover might be off-putting.

I miss having a cat. They bring down your blood pressure. Only current one is a feral that we leave food out for. Would get another but our border collie might object.
Our last cat liked to write zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz on my computer keyboard.

Typing sample with a new black nylon ribbon in place.
Looks like the HHHHHhhhhh alignment needs a wee bit of an adjustment.
The lower case typeslubs were so filled with ribbon gunk, the small-circles making up some of the lower case letters were just a dark-black smudge on paper.
Took lacquer thinner and a nylon tooth-brush to get them clean.
