If you want to write deliberately and undisturbed...
I started using a typewriter a few years ago when I wanted to type away from the internet and the lit-up screen of my computer. I quickly found typing on a typewriter helpful in keeping distractions at bay. I then began to take an interest in the aesthetics of typewriter designs and the history of these great machines. There are many wonderfully-designed typewriters with beautiful lines, colours and keytops, and their appearances offer a reflection of the style or fashion of their era.
As my interest in typewriter styles grew, so did my curiosity about their mechanics. I found myself taking typewriters apart, not only to freshen them up with a good clean but also to see how they worked - disassembling, adjusting and reassembling various models when doing so has been necessary to getting them up to operational speed. Some of the typewriters I offer I have regularly used, while others are thoroughly tested and ready for writing.
As such, I offer typewriters that are both pleasing to the eye and responsive to the fingers; that is, they can't just look good - they've got to work.
I hope you find the typewriter you are looking for and enjoy using (and preserving) these worthy machines.
