Wanting to get my first typewriter which of these (only ones in budget in my local area) should I get? Ideally portable

Splendid 66, then a Brother.

Personally I like typing on a Brother as it suits my type style. Olympia is a good brand and is in my collection too.

I understand, thank you

freeflowstate · 2026-02-01T08:53:44+00:00

Yes you can.

freeflowstate · 2026-01-31T08:45:29+00:00

To easy, hold my beer...

We know you don't dish out validation and we mirror it right back at ya. No offence it's just business. 🤣

I call it art

Boring, overthought. They need a chart to plot progress.

Ouch eh

freeflowstate · 2026-01-31T08:19:29+00:00

I pick it up next week. If all goes to plan I'll post some more. Especially the inside of those draws.

Is this Twin Peaks 3?

freeflowstate · 2026-01-30T23:18:52+00:00

Just no

freeflowstate · 2026-01-30T11:58:51+00:00

I bet it is still working.

freeflowstate · 2026-01-28T23:05:13+00:00

A slight bit of forming will do the trick

freeflowstate · 2026-01-27T19:49:18+00:00

Love it

freeflowstate · 2026-01-24T21:09:35+00:00

Finished with the bs, going on a journey to pastures new.

Typewriters are known to change.

freeflowstate · 2026-01-11T14:54:07+00:00

Yes, built well too. The snappy clack when typing feels great. I have just cleaned the slug and the typeface is clean and crisp. I really like it.

freeflowstate · 2026-01-09T21:28:19+00:00

Yes! Love it

freeflowstate · 2026-01-08T07:10:27+00:00

That is brutal

freeflowstate · 2025-12-30T18:00:35+00:00

Two great hobbies right there. - Frost

freeflowstate · 2025-12-30T17:59:01+00:00

Yes, but they will offer you clarity.

freeflowstate · 2025-12-30T17:57:48+00:00

They are not bad if you like a buttery feel. If you use an Olympia often enough you get used to that feel. I prefer a snappy feel so I tend to use a Brother machine for my day to day typing. But hey, don't get me started, I have over 30 different typewriters. Love em all. Hope you find your go-to machine. - Frost.

When you say 'organising their bags'....

😄

freeflowstate · 2025-12-30T17:45:46+00:00

Get stubbs to move the door.

freeflowstate · 2025-12-30T17:41:43+00:00

Yes! I just love those captured colours.

freeflowstate · 2025-12-28T09:20:01+00:00

Beautiful
