phuturatica Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_brownstone Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 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.

watcharacters Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuturatica Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Why? They're nice little items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayCee Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 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!

Hedghog Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
