Advice on first typewriter?
Hey everyone!
I’m new here and really need advice. I want to buy a typewriter, it will be my first. Never used anything besides a laptop before lol. It’s also difficult finding typewriters in good condition in my country, so the only models I could find that don’t require fixing are:
Erica 10 Erica 20 Rheinmetall KST Olympia SM (no SM3 or SM9, unfortunately) Olympia Progress Olympia SF (don’t really like the look of it though) Olivetti Lettera 45 (same)
Can’t try most of those unfortunately as they’re in other cities, so relying on your expertise. Which one of these would be good as the first typewriter? Not sure how much typing I will be doing, but I write novels so if I like it, could be a lot. Any thoughts welcome!
