I'd keep it as a typewriter. They're great machines.

 An "I/O" Selectric is reasonable, but a bit of work.
 An office Selectric or a home selectric can be done, but is not worth the
 effort.  You can do it with a box of solenoids sitting under the keyboard
 (vintage Escon), or a box of solenoids sitting 0on top of the keyboard
 (Dynatyper or kgs-80)
