Admin: Hunting a Typewriter

I feel the need to obtain a manual typewriter. Nothing electric; I’m looking for an old style finger-powered machine. I’ve seen hundreds of portables on eBay, but I really would prefer the desktop kind. At one time, the federal government had a few million of them, including the military services. That’s the kind of machine I’m looking for, so if any of you come across one, let me know what it would cost to buy and ship. Of course, a donated machine would be dandy, if you are so blessed.

    I will keep my eyes out for anything online. Have you tried craigslist? I’d feel weird buying one sight unseen, although I bought my bike on ebay, and that worked out okay.

      Craigslist is justly localized, and what we have locally is dismal right now. It’s not a bad idea for readers to try their own Craigslist, because they tend to be cheaper there than on eBay.
