I apologize if this isn't the best place to ask this sort of question, but i don't use social media sites, so I'm gonna ask it here. To make a long story short, my 96 year old Great Grandmother has never used a computer in her life and relies on a typewriter for communication. Well, her typewriter has finally broke after 40 plus years and is beyond repair so she needs a new one. The typewriter has largely become a forgotten technology, but there's still people who rely on them. In fact, the keyboards we use on our computers every day are modeled directly after the typewriter, and minus the function keys, it's almost exactly the same. Anyway, is there a place i can go to buy one? it doesn't matter if it's online, or a retail store. Thanks!

Are there any new ones still being manufactured? I typically never buy used or refurbished items unless i absolutely have to.

I did what you said and, to my surprise, there were a few new ones still listed. Thanks! Soon she'll have a brand new one that should last her for the rest of her life.
