Title: Craigslist Typewriter Deals
Post by: nubbinator on Sat, 16 April 2016, 16:54:42

Not sure if anyone is near these areas, but two good deals on MX sets from typewriters.

First, Royal Alpha 115 in Clearwater, Florida for $45:

Should be dyesubs.



Second, Royal Beta 225 in Elmira, NY for $5:

Looks like doubleshot ABS, but I don't think has been confirmed to be MX compatible and, if it is, if it's dyesub or doubleshot.  In any case, $5 is a steal just to find out.
