You have a typewriter? Lemme see it and also where do I get one I want one it’s the only weird writing shit I don’t have.
I have two actually! First one I got was a 1969 Smith Corona Super Sterling. Named him Wesley Smith O' Rona for reminding me of Smith and Wesson and being a Corona in the Corona pandemic (it might be weird to name typewriters, but IDK). Interesting feature is that the top part slides forward instead of hinging up like most typewriters.
The second one I got was a Royal Quiet De Luxe from (I think, based on serial numbers) 1951. She is named Reine Ginny De Luxe Tranquil for being a Royal Quiet I got in Virginia. She is from the era when typewriters didn't have a 1 key, and instead used a lowercase L to denote 1s. That's why many older fonts have 1s and Ls look very similar. Of the two, she is in a bit better material condition and the one I use the most. Fun fact, apparently Ian Flemming and Ernest Hemingway both used them extensively. Flemming even bought a gold plated one as a reward for finishing Casino Royale and wrote the rest of the James Bond stories on it.
As for getting one, you've got a couple of options. One is to buy online. Facebook Marketplace always has some, and I got Wesley off of Ebay. Couple things to consider though, you might not be able to check the typewriter out yourself before buying and discover any quirks or issues the seller didn't know about/mention. There's also shipping; I got lucky with Wesley, but I later heard horror stories of typewriters not faring well in the mail. If you go this route, consider leaning towards Facebook marketplace where you might be able to check it out before buying and transport it yourself.
Another option is the way I got Ginny: old people. I was at my great Aunt and Uncle's place for dinner and casually mentioned Wesley because I knew they liked old stuff. My Aunt immediately said "Oh, I think we have a typewriter in the attic, would you like to take a look at it?" One thing led to another, and I'm walking out with a new typewriter (This was not my intention I swear). So if you've got older relatives/friends, maybe ask around if they have one you could buy/take off their hands.
The last method is thrift stores. A lot of them will have a couple sitting around waiting for a good home. Some, especially the "portables" (both of mine weigh about twenty pounds, even ultra portables are around 9) will get put in with suitcases and luggage since their cases look a lot like them. If you find one, see if you can do some tests. Make sure the carriage moves smoothly, that the lever will advance the platen (the rubber roller). Check that all the keys work, or don't stick too bad. Even if the ink ribbon is drier than rice crackers, it should still have enough ink to show faint letters to make sure they're all working/in order. Any quirks or issues you come across will have to either be fixed or lived with, so keep that in mind.
A honrable mention, Royal still makes modern typewriters. You can get one on Amazon for like $250, but I haven't heard too much on them. Besides, why would you get a new one when the older ones look way more cool?
A couple of final miscellaneous things:
You'll probably want to get the platen redone. The rubber will have gotten old, and start having flat areas or have paper slip around (If the typewriter has the switch, disengage the platen when you're not using it so it doesn't rest against anything. You don't need to remove the whole platen though, except for cleaning maybe). There's a company in New York that still does platen repair, about 80 bucks depending on the model.
I'd recommend checking out Just My Typewriter on Youtube, she goes through a lot more about the buying process of typewriters and cleaning them (she has over 30 and names them too, I'M NOT CRAZY!) There's also the Typewriter Database, which is a good resource for finding when a typewriter was made and some repair guides too.
When typing, put a second sheet behind the one you're typing on, it'll keep the period key from punching through too much.
If it still has them, save the metal ribbon rolls. Typewriter ribbon is like eight bucks on amazon and you can transfer them from the cheap plastic rollers to the nicer metal ones.
Lastly, search stuff up. Reddit has some subreddits on typewriters and typewriter repair, and there's plenty of other resources out there I haven't thought of.
Thanks for the ask! I love ranting about typewriters for thirty minutes.
