Every once in a while I run across a picture of a typewriter and wander off googling for more. I still have the typewriter I bought with the money I earned the summer I was 13.

It's an Olivetti Lettera 22. A pretty little thing. A classic in it's own right. I've been thinking about cleaning it up but there are too many other projects in the way. I'm not sure why I want a functioning typewriter. I haven't used one since I installed the AppleWorks word processor on my Apple IIc in 1985. But there is something about the look and feel of a mechanical typewriter. And it's portable. Batteries not required. So I found some typewriter sites that I've been to before and some new ones. Looked at all the typewriters for sale. I want a Smith-Corona Super Silent.

If only I had the money! Look throught the typewriter sites below. Wonderful little mechanical beings.
