19 Points, Typewriter Hunter

I grew up in a household of analog and digital tech. For most of my life, I dominantly worked in computer repair, preserving and maintaining older computer tech, and keeping up with advances. However, as I shifted my focus towards becoming a creative writer (a side passion of mine), I leapt into the world of writer's tools. I've amassed a collection of word processor programs, devices (Neo2 my beloved), and stationary. However, I lamented the typewriter I grew up with which my mother sold years ago at a yard sale. I cannot remember its name or what it was and remain on the hunt for it. I moved on as most options around me were in the hundreds if not thousands.

I convinced myself my longing was derived from rose tinted glasses of yesteryear and I had all I needed.

Until I stumbled into a dear typewriter sitting alone on a shelf at a quiet second hand shop, fully operable and ready to go. It is like a second limb to me now and while I do not need to grow a collection, the accessibility, ability to repair, and preservation of the romance of the typewriter is dear to me. So, here I am.
