Thread Name: BS: Which typewriter?
Subject: RE: BS: Which typewriter?
Good luck finding any. I went looking for one earlier this spring for my grandson to learn on. None of the pawn shops had any. Not Goodwill nor Salvation Army. None of the thrift stores but one, the last one I called! Then, when I got there, they were electric! Fortunately my brother had an OLD and HEAVY portable which we borrowed much to my grandson's delight. I am kicking myself for getting rid of a really old royal when we moved east to west. It was early 20th century and not too heavy.
That said, I cannot imagine doing any of my writing on a manual typewriter anymore! I suppose I would if I had to, but PC's have really spoiled me!
