I have an old IBM Model C typewriter. I can't bear to throw it away,
even though it doesn't work well. The carriage doesn't advance, and the
A key doesn't work. Do you know how to tune it up?
If you want it, it's yours for the price of shipping. I'll probably
take it to UPS and ask them to pack it.
It will fit in a 24" x 18" x 12" box. Gross shipped weight about 40
lbs.

I'm sure that there are typewriter collectors that would be interested.
But I have no idea how to connect with them.
Aside: I wonder if there are any newsgroups.
I wonder if Curious Mark or Co. would be interested in it. It seems to
be similar to mechanical Teletypes and adding machines. Who knows,
maybe we'd see a restoration video about it.

I only found one Usenet newsgroup free.typewriters and it only had one
message int he last 2+ years. So not exactly what I would call active.
Here's one that I'm subscribed to:
https://groups.io/g/TYPEWRITERS
That's a mailing list, not a newsgroup.
But it is likely to be more active than the free.typewriters newsgroup.

Picky, picky picky...
The old Golf Ball Typewriter Shop list is long gone, and this was
suggested as an alternative.

The golfballtypewritershop list groups.io, though there is only around 30+ members.
The foolish created a Facebook group where there are several hundred gambling fools.
I'll take no part in Facebook ever again, and therefore have regained a little privacy
back.
Meanwhile Mozilla Firefox is doing weird things, as if it can't find the DNS. I have
tried to re-install/refresh with the same result.
I guess I'll have to reboot.

The old IBM Model C Typewriter has been spoken for.
I'm sure that there are typewriter collectors that would be
interested.
But I have no idea how to connect with them.
Aside:? I wonder if there are any newsgroups.
I wonder if Curious Mark or Co. would be interested in it.? It seems
to
be similar to mechanical Teletypes and adding machines.? Who knows,
maybe we'd see a restoration video about it.
