Is there anyone on the list who would be interested in acquiring
a Friden Justowriter in Canton, OH?  To judge from the photo I've
seen the machine isn't in great shape, but it probably isn't a 
complete wreck, either. 

It looks a lot like the machine shown in the Wikimedia Commons
image of the Friden Flexowriter:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flexowriter.JPG
except that it says "Justowriter" on it (vs. "Flexowriter") and 
it is not in as good a condition as the one shown on Wikimedia.

I ask because a travelling Linotype repairman of my acquaintance
has just let me know that such a unit is available.  I'd love to
have it, of coure, but Canton, OH is a bit far for me, and I
really can't justify it (no pun intended!)

I don't have any further information on it, and have no idea what
the owner would want for it.  I have not communicated with the owner
yet; this is secondhand information.  But if anyone is interested I'd
be happy to pass on the contact information and the photograph.

There's also a Friden/Singer Justotext 70 phototypesetter,
if anyone should wish to take on a truly unmaintainable technology :-)

Regards,
David M.
