That is what I am hoping for. I just exchange...@Ted<br />That is what I am hoping for. I just exchanged a couple e-mails with Peter and he said he was getting a new batch of material next week, so he was thinking I'd have my new platen by the end of the month.<br /><br />Let me know what sort of what your platen cost is, as I'm curious. It is only about $13 for shipping one platen, both ways, so I may be in the market for some of my smaller platens, depending on cost.deekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140131381076720375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525256592893354856.post-79419251457119711142012-08-15T18:54:06.429-04:002012-08-15T18:54:06.429-04:00Oh yes, new platens make a world of difference.

I am already in love with my SG-1 (have been for years), so falling in love a second time...whoa!<br /><br />@michaeliany<br />I didn't ask how long it would take nor did he mention a timeframe. We exchanged a few friendly e-mails about platen measurements and cost and then I sent my platen to him. He quoted me $58 and $63, depending on the size of the ID (inner diameter). More rubber means higher cost. All he needs to know is ID, OD and length and he can quote you a price. I added $14 for shipping USPS both ways, which is all part of the total cost. So yeah, about $80 for a standard typewriter platen. A portable would likely be less expensive. Let me know when you do a vid. I'd love to watch.<br /><br />@Richard<br />Yup, I'm getting excited!<br /><br />@Ledeaux<br />You know, if I had my choice, I'd write on stone (platens) if I could have a telepathically controlled writing space!!!deekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140131381076720375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525256592893354856.post-24248030030308263522012-08-12T02:18:29.852-04:002012-08-12T02:18:29.852-04:00Platen yeah, but I am digging this idea for the te...Platen yeah, but I am digging this idea for the telepathically controlled writing space!J.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17716960326168886178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525256592893354856.post-9798310126671340202012-08-11T17:32:56.514-04:002012-08-11T17:32:56.514-04:00Whoo, this will be a nice change for your SG.Whoo, this will be a nice change for your SG.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525256592893354856.post-80147454125041238802012-08-11T16:42:18.329-04:002012-08-11T16:42:18.329-04:00how long did jj short say it would take? if i reme...how long did jj short say it would take? if i remember right its like $80 to get it done, right? <br />when i get one refinished, im going ot do a before and after vid i think.michaelianyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473989420991038113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525256592893354856.post-51626671688489428492012-08-11T09:51:10.649-04:002012-08-11T09:51:10.649-04:00A recovered platen makes a world of difference.
