I say save it. Up in the attic or garage somewhere. Someday you can pass it on to your kids as an antique....like all the things I`m keeping for you and your brothers. :-) Seriously, don`t you wish we had kept your first computer...that Commodore 64?

That`s funny; I have the same machine. I, too, am undecided as to what to do with it. I`ll probably do as Nancy suggested. I`ll check back periodically to see if anyone posts any other ideas. Thanks, Carla |

That`s a hella good machine. The old Stenorams are real workhorses. I`m still using Stenoram Ultras. Fail safe, battery lasts for years, doesn`t fall over when you cross your legs, etc.
Most reliable steno machine ever made in my opinion. |

I am looking for a machine to brush up on my skills with. Haven`t worked in the field in 13 years, and I sold my Stentura way back when. I could use a manual machine or a cheap computerized one. I may get my speed up enough to take some secretarial dictation. I`m not looking to spend more than $30.00. Does that help at all? |

Mine doesn`t work, so I can`t really sell it to you. Sorry! |

That flowerpot idea of yours is really cute, actually. Then again, I have odd ideas about interior decorating . . . that`s the kind of nutty thing I would consider doing, except that in actuality I prefer a classic/sophisticated look in my home and a gutted steno machine as a flowerpot simply wouldn`t go!
Hmmmmm, if you have a big desk in your office or home office, it might be neat to keep it on a shelf there as a conversation piece . . . your own personal steno museum. I bet you could think of some other neat stuff to put with it to make a nifty little display. |

You can send it to/donate it to OTEC in Seattle, and we will pay the UPS ground shipping to get it here. We work on steno machines.
We can put batteries in that. We also overhaul these machines.
Lisa Quaglieri, are you looking for a Stenoram 3 or Ultra? I can help you out with that. We can also fix yours if you have one already.

I am really looking for a manual machine. I haven`t worked in the field in 13 years, and I still do the outlines in my head all the time. I really want to see if I can still write and read the outlines. Not looking for a heavy investment -- something very conservative. I really just want to see if it`s worth getting back into for me.
Thanks. If you know of any manual machines for sale, please let me know. |

I got my RPR in 1981. Hadn`t worked in reporting for 20 years. Feb 2009 got a Stenoram II. I`m doing 225 (not clean enough).
Cheap investment. Got on Digital Cat. (See the 1981) It was worth every penny. |

I`d like to see it in a clear plastic box, on display in the main office underneath the framed photo (enlarged) of the very first office space. It`s always good to see where we started and how far we`ve come. I don`t suppose you`ve got the first dollar you earned as a court reporter do you? |

Yes maybe just save it. Maybe It will be useful in the future. But if you really don`t want to keep it just go the first option.

the national court reporting association will buy used machines, even if they don`t work. and they sell them (even manuals from the 70`s) on their site.
I have 3 antique ones, but i`m not letting go of them for their offer of only $85. The memories are more dear than that paltry sum. |

You might like to keep it to show kids. I am sure they have never seen one and have no idea what it is or does. If not, try eBay!

Hi... I have a Stentura 400 SRT Electric machine that I purchased about 6 years ago but never really used. I jsut stumbled across: http://www.acculaw.com/steno-machine-questions.aspx I just got off the phone with a rep and they`re going to purchase it for $400. Not bad! They say it will probably cost about $15 for me to ship it via UPS and then they will mail me a check. Easier than I thought! I know I paid many times the amt they are buying it from me, but I can`t be lugging it around for another year. I didn`t want to deal with the hassle of selling it on eBay (where I doubt I would have received more than $400). I hope that helps! |

I started reporting in 1968 when I was still 18 years old (took machine shorthand in high school, believe it or not). Was one of the reporters in the Blue Ribbon Inquest into the Chicago Police/Black Panthers shootout in the late `60s, reported the special Grand Jury proceedings of the Chicago riots during the Democratic National Convention (remember?: The Whole World Is Watching!!). I have a 1920s vintage steno machine I`m trying to determine where it needs to go as I`ll be retiring soon (I hope). Any suggestions? Thanks |

Dominick Tursi has started the Gallery of Shorthand, Central Islip, New York. I am a charter member. He is an amazing lecturer on the history of court reporting -- very energized and captivating -- and has many machines on display. Perhaps you would consider donating it or at least contacting him to see if he has that model. Visit his site at www.GalleryofShorthand.org and find out all about the Stenographer that stood by Lincoln`s Deathbed and so much more! |
