Lately, for some reason, I have this desire to own and use a typewriter again (our old Imperial vanished from the backyard). It brings back memories of sleepless nights doing assignments back in High school for one.

What can you recommend and where can I find one in Metro Manila?

1. If possible, I want something with a different font from the common typewriter. Is there such thing? If possible, I want a font that is clean and easily readable.

2. Smallest and lightest as much as possible.

3. Preferably easy to maintain and use with readily available parts.

4. Manual, I have a computer with a laser and an inkjet so I don't think I need an electric typewriter. You may convince me otherwise.

5. Good price (or mura lang). hehe.


I'll use it to write, print checks (Anyone know why there is no check printer?). I want to hear that sweet sound of the typebars pounding on the paper once in a while.

Thanks in advance.
