I also sometimes feel nostalgic about typewriters. The clacking sounds, the whooshing noise when making a line break, and the clear finish with a "ding!"... But the typewriters I like are antiques, and I haven't seen any that actually work.

I’ve bought multiple antique typewriters that all work just fine. Might need a little maintenance to clean the slugs/hammers or need a new ink ribbon (which you can buy on Amazon), but it hasn’t felt hard for me to find them at places like antique stores or estate sales.
