Roadrunner Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I just got a new set of Rapidographs at Artist & Craftsman in Cambridge. Love them. Great for detail drawings, and where I still frequently ink my drafting to prevent smudging, I really needed a set. I had some Staedlers, but I didn't care for them. I'm looking for one of the lettering guides now; been keeping an eye open on eBay.Charlie LarkinCheck the Goodwill auctions. They show up from time to time.

Please don't tell me yours is the Correcting Selectric II... I do appreciate some modern conveniences... Charlie Larkin Edited October 16, 2015 by charlie8575

Roadrunner Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I used those for a long time, Harry, and hope to never use them again. I do all of my drawings now using AutoCAD, and will probably never do hand drawings again.

Didn't know they did this.Their s/h charges are a bit much, but if you shop carefully, even with those, it looks like there are some real bargains.Charlie Larkin
