    Getting ready for a boot sale, my other half retrieved boxes from the loft to sort through, look what I found. It was bought for me by my parents when learning shorthand and typing at school and is now over forty years old.

    I cleaned it up and didn't think for one minute the ribbon would be any good, it wasn't. Not giving up, I unreeled it soaked and dried it, then put it back. Bingo! It still works. :)

    I'm way off sixty words a minute though! :heehee:
