I made good money then, because my speed quadrupled lolol my brilliant cerise-colored Selectric. I miss her still.

I have a lot of typing experience many decades in my life. A good tool is beyond a joy when it suits you in particular.

I’m not mechanically inclined so having one all done up and working is worth it to me. I will buy one in a few months but there are some other spendy things I plan to buy in the next few weeks and there is a legal time limit so…

Edit: I say that to say I imagine even if it costs a bit more the peace of mind might be worth it.

Here's a very similar model that I found by the way (I believe mine is an SM9 Deluxe and this is an SM8, the entire SM series was recommended by several sources I read about as good machines):

There are a decent number of different typewriters available - I chose this model after searching “good typewriters for beginners” online. Now I kind of want an Olivetti 🤣

I’m recalling the journalists and writers who packed a manual typewriter on their adventures and never worried if there were electricity 👍

However, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking at Olivettis on eBay…
