Where Can I Buy A Typewriter?

[phuturatica]

Odd request really but I'm looking for an English typewriter. Does anyone know of any places selling them or anyone who might have one for sale?!

Thanks in advance.

I think i remember the last typewriter built became obsolete last year..gone the same way as kodak and all other old technology,

Trty your local Thai Pawn shop - seriously.

Some time ago I needed a Thai Typewriter (to fill in Government Forms etc. which were not available online); that's where I found one.

Thanks guys, I'll give them a go. Like trying to find a needle in a haystack though I think!

In a few more years they'll probably all be crushed.

Why? They're nice little items.

Any luck? I'm a newbie to Thailand living, and when budding author daughter started talking "all I want for Christmas is a typewriter", I felt that sinking, oh no, how on earth.... feeling. I couldn't believe there was a thread on the forum with someone else who had looked. I hope you found one! If you have any leads, they'd be received with gratitude!

Just a thought.

If you are lucky enough to locate one,what about the type ribbon will you be able to replace it.

Good luck with your search
