I found my Mum's last typewriter (well she might buy another though it would be pretty unlikely now) earlier today at her house. One day it will be part of my collection, though not yet as she wants to keep it for now, just in case.
When i do get my hands on it though it will be a Bob Dylan moment of the collection as the typewriter is a Smith Corona XE1630 and is... gasp... electric! I think it works OK and may give it a try out soon. I don't really like the keyboard though as it is rather soft and quiet. I like loud keyboards (obviously), even my Mac mini has a clicky keyboard that is louder than the Big Bang.
