How could I not pick up his avocado beauty at Acts Thrift for $17.36?! A day's worth of cleaning ought to bring this bad boy up to snuff. I'm most shocked at the fantastic design of its case.
This is a re-branded Messa typewriter manufactured in Portugal with other known re-badgings as the ABC 3001 and the Brother XL-1016. These were made/advertised from 1971 to 1974, but based on the serial numbers in the Typewriter Database, I would suspect mine is from the early side of 1971. (It's entirely possible they made the entire run in a year and sold them through 1974.) Including this one there are currently only seven exemplars in the database, but many of them are owned by some of the most prolific collectors.
With my 52nd birthday coming up this may be one of the youngest machines I own, though it's still a few years older than me.
And how could you possibly not love the green typebar jam release key? The only thing that could be cooler would be to have versions in harvest yellow, burnt orange, and coppertone brown. I'll have to get my old Tupperware set out to properly show this off.
Manual available on Richard Polt's site.
I've already fixed/adjusted most of the primary issues and done a little bit of the work to clean this out. I should be able to finish up the rest of it over the long weekend with the exception of one or two screws that I can tell are missing and need replacements. Portions of the case are going to require some attention as well.

The Verge reports on (yet another) bizarre decision by dbrand.
dbrand announced Monday that it’s refunding everyone who bought its Steam Machine Companion Cube, which it said it made “without a license from Valve.”
Apparently they had racked up enough pre-orders to make the product the second-fastest selling product in their history. Yikes.

Thus you're required to put the extra emphasis by typing out your period followed by the backspace and then an apostrophe! Of course if you take the widdershins philosophy, for added emphasis you can first type out the apostrophe followed by the backspace and finally the period.

Yesterday at the QWERTY Typewriter Festival in Carson, CA, Bryan Mahoney of The Typin' Pint released Issue 01 of his new zine Clack!
I've just finished reading it this morning (from cover to cover, though I admit I haven't finished the crossword yet) and it is truly fantastic! There's so much to love inside its pages. My favorite parts were the poem (who doesn't love a good clown story?!), numbers 9 and 11 of Tom Hanks' "Eleven Reasons to Use a Typewriter" and Sarah Everett's essay about Barbie typewriters which has the cleverest of titles.
It's so jam-packed with typewriter-y and analog goodness that the editor didn't have the space to include a table of contents, so for those who need one, I've typewritten one which I'm including below.
The limited zine release has 500 numbered copies. Brian got the first two copies, Tom Hanks snagged numbers 3, 4, and 5. First in line, I managed to get issue number 6. I saw Michael Hanttula swipe number 7, and Lyn, who had just purchased a lovely duo-toned gray Royal Royalite typewriter moments before, got number 8. Which number(s) will you collect?
Because there really ought to be an issue number 2 and 3, I'm already brainstorming things that I might type up for them. And if somehow that doesn't happen, then they'll just have to go into my own zine...

I was cheering when Max hit the wall with Charles and Lewis on a front row lockout, and George managed to get away with racing hard through the final sector under yellow. Damn! Still, what a result for the Scuderia where they’ve been nowhere all weekend. #F1

I've just finished reading it this morning (from cover to cover, though I admit I haven't finished the crossword yet) and it is truly fantastic! There's so much to love inside its pages. My favorite parts were the poem (who doesn't love a good clown story?!), numbers 9 and 11 of Tom Hanks' "Eleven Reasons to Use a Typewriter" and Sarah Everett's essay about Barbie typewriters which has the cleverest of titles.
It's so jam-packed with typewriter-y and analog goodness that the editor didn't have the space to include a table of contents, so for those who need one, I've typewritten one which I'm including below.
The limited zine release has 500 numbered copies. Brian got the first two copies, Tom Hanks snagged numbers 3, 4, and 5. First in line, I managed to get issue number 6. I saw Michael Hanttula swipe number 7, and Lyn, who had just purchased a lovely duo-toned gray Royal Royalite typewriter moments before, got number 8. Which number(s) will you collect?
Because there really ought to be an issue number 2 and 3, I'm already brainstorming things that I might type up for them. And if somehow that doesn't happen, then they'll just have to go into my own zine...
