In my opinion the Praktica BX 20 was simply an East German Nikon FE....I liked it! It worked good. and looked good!  It still works today....in Meghan's Museum....!    Bucky

All those old cameras need to be in a glass cabinet so they can be on display and not get all dusty like my old Underwood typewriter gets....     Say What

I had an Underwood in high school but a little more modern (and a lot smaller), than yours. Apparently it is considered “vintage”, just like me!

Yes mine is a No. 3 from 1919....it must weigh 25 lbs!  

RARE Antique Underwood 1926 No.3 Typewriter | eBay

I can get it reconditioned in Austin for $100....but then I would have to go to Austin! Once to deliver it and again to pick it up!


I'm not ready for that.
