And strangely enjoyable to read :-)<br /><br />Nice to see also that the Corona 3 (even my 1934 specimen) is mostly exactly like the original Folding Portable - enduring engineering in more ways than one.RobertGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01841652527282627317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155655733060090741.post-33022362066011219712018-10-24T14:58:23.242-07:002018-10-24T14:58:23.242-07:00Very impressive.Very impressive.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155655733060090741.post-55881905316025196092018-10-23T22:49:06.882-07:002018-10-23T22:49:06.882-07:00Wow, this is pretty much a master class in assembl...Wow, this is pretty much a master class in assembling the little folder!
