I can't claim to be an expert, but I like this heavy steel 50's model because it was cheap, works well once cleaned and oiled, and the weight keeps it from moving. Royal actually still makes a manual typewriter, but it doesn't look so hot. I'd suggest surfing antique and vintage toy stores. If you buy off eBay, just make sure they supplied a typed paper to see how it writes.

I still have an Apple IIgs. Thexder is an all time favorite game. Karateka is also the shit.
Surprisingly, I do not collect type writers. It is a heavy space consuming hobby. The comments about being able to write away from all the distractions is appealing though.
I hear Tom Hanks collects them.
I know. I need to find a light, compact size thing to collect like tanks.
