I've been searching for such a company for years. My gas powered Edison typewriter has been a joy for all of 90 years it's helped me run my company. But the type of gas it requires has been put on the list of gases not allowed in carry-on luggage. That, of course, limits my on call airborne stenography business to private aircraft. Can you convert my Edison to electrical? Will you barter free airborne stenography for life for your services? Thank you so much! I can't believe I found you after all these years! Finally!
