Typewriters Wanted

The East Boston Typewriter Union aka EB Association of Poetic Typists aka....(Not to be confused with the Boston Typewriter Orchestra) is soliciting donations of manual typewriters, adding machines and/or cash registers. We are forming a performance ensemble whose precise purpose, methods and name are yet to be determined, but we will be performing with typewriters. Your donation can help fulfill someone else's creative urge. Membership is open for those who are committed....

Nice. Not that I have one, but are electric typewriters/cash registers OK, or is this an accoustic gig...

In principle I don't have any objection although in practice it will be difficult mixing manual with electric...and as a group we haven't decided how retro we wanted to be.

Too bad you don't want old cameras; I'm flush with those!

If the shutter has a pleasing tone, I'm sure something could be arranged.

The one with the best shutter sound is my dad's brass-body Canon AE-1. That beauty's not going anywhere!
