What's Been Up?

New Look, New Name! (Formerly Adventures In Typewriterdom)

Hey, just figured I'd let you guys know that this blog is now named "The Written Word", formerly "Adventures In Typewriterdom." *Shudders* Stay tuned for typecasts!

I'm Still Alive!

Hey guys, I would like to sincerely apologize for the hiatus that this blog has taken. What happened was my scanner wouldn't work, so being dissatisfied with the quality of phone pictures, I decided to not blog until I got a better scanner that worked again. I finally did get a really nice scanner recently, but the only problem is that I needed to update my computer software for the scanner to work. SO, now the software is on its way, and as soon as I install it, I will be back and typecasting again! So, here's to a new chapter in Adventures In Typewriterdom, and I look forward to it! (Damn I wish I picked a different name)

Don't Worry, I'm Still Here...

Well, it's been a while, hasn't it? I must apologize for the lack of activity on the blog for the past few months. I've been busy, and a good part lazy about this blog as well. I guess I just got tired of taking shitty pictures on an iPhone for a while, and silently decided I would not typecast until I got a nice scanner. So, until I get a scanner, I guess I won't really be typecasting. I mean, if anyone has a spare scanner that they don't need, let me know! Otherwise, I guess I'll still just be looking! But I'm still here in the Typosphere, lurking away, still silently reading everyone's posts. But I shall make a return soon, so stay posted!

Searching For The Holy Grail, Please Help!

Hey guys, just a quick post! I have been looking for this specific typewriter for ages. It is a 1950s Groma Gromina, the early model with the red square keys. Here's a picture:

This is one of those typewriters I have lusted over for ages, and one that has been very elusive to me. So, if any of you guys out there in the typosphere has one of these you'd be willing to part with, please contact me at plungerdrum186@aol.com when you can. Thank you, and be on the lookout for more posts!
