One, I sanded and repainted white, as it needed it. I can inquire about her others. Meanwhile, as writer myself, I enjoyed your blog thus far. I also found really cool mid century nesting chairs from another neighbor and am restoring them as well. 4 out of 6 done. cheers 9/10/2023 dj mark hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741526765945707968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618321368988528322.post-70355588726757461202021-02-21T07:53:21.930+00:002021-02-21T07:53:21.930+00:00I have a black Dave in my lift.

I'm typing on one now. And I also bought a black model. Thank goodness for eBay. All the spares are stockpiled and ready to be called into service when needed. (When I say "stockpiled", they mostly have lava lamps on them.)

I can't find the exact one I purchased, but here's a link to something similar: http://tinyurl.com/l5879gm I hope this helps! I know what a pain long-distance typing can be on badly designed keyboards. Alternatively you can seek out a "Dave" on eBay as I did.

As I suffer badly from the repetitive wrist strain of typing many words on a flat keyboard. Even tilted slightly with the bag legs of the keyboard doesn't help as much. Sometimes I do wish the keyboard manufacturers would opt for a typewriter style keyboard with raised keys, perhaps one day - we can only dream I suppose.
