w92c045.jpeg [30KB]: The culmination of the struggle through The Enchanted Duplicator Golf Course. This is the Tower of Trufandom with the Enchanted Duplicator atop it. There is an interesting story about getting this legendary mimeograph. The mimeo was originally owned by Bob Silverberg and he pubbed his famous fanzine SPACESHIP on it. He then gave it to Lee Hoffman who pubbed a number of her legendary zines (FanHistory, Science-Fiction Five-Yearly, etc.) on it. For 20 years, it lay unused in her garage and she discarded it when she moved to a new house in 1989. In 1992, when Joe Siclari called to ask if she might possibly still have her old mimeo, she remarkably said "Yes." Just a week before, the owners of her old house had moved away and they left the mimeo on her doorstep. They had kept it for three years planning to get it back to h!!er. It really is enchanted. It found its way home to fandom and is now in the FANAC Fan History Collection. - Joe Siclari Photo by Carol Porter
