BRAD HORN/Nevada Appeal Bud Hamilton, from back, his son Ken, and wife Jean, run Hamilton Business Machines out of their home. Below left, Perry Nixdorf massages hair mousse into Ann Crawford's newly-dyed and cut hair at the Hair Studio in Carson CIty on Saturday. Nixdorf, who says he's always booked, first cut Crawford's hair 27 years ago. Below right, Perry Nixdorf's mother cuts the young boy's hair around 1959.
It took Ken Hamilton about a year to learn how to repair an IBM Selectric, the so-called indestructible typewriter and 10-pound anchor that once dominated every American office. Ken's father, Bud Hamilton, 70, taught him the mechanics - and is still teaching him, his son said. The father-son team operate Hamilton Business Machines.
