At the age of 25, Greg Fudacz of Wethersfield went to a tag sale and bought his very first vintage ROYAL typewriter for $5 dollars. That was 14 years ago.

I have an Adler Favorit 2 from the 1930s and I've only payed 20€ for it 😍 I own an Olympia SM2 and a Trumph-Adler Contessa 2 (the one I got my hands on at age 13) - but my favourite to write is my beloved Rheinmetall from the 50s or 60s. I'm 28 and grew up with computers but typewriters have a special kind of magic. Also, people throw these beautys out for nothing; I payed 0-20€ for each of them and I would buy more if I had a house and not an appartment in the city 😂

Nice interview. Greg is a nice guy. Recently got some parts from him. ...I just got into collecting as a adjunct to my living history hobby so I tend to go for the ones a more beat up an inexpensive and not advanced collector interest. Incredibly addictive. I'm finding myself in to a spiral, initially was into the 20's, working my way back to the 1890's. For now, except for the rarest machines, they are still very affordable if you stay away from the Ferengis on Ebay and Etsy. Every once in a while you can find a fair deal if you study and learn. Just don't get crazy. Still today a lot more typewriters than people wanting then which is good for beginning collectors.

I love old typewriters, and I used one for years while writing for a living. I still use a Royal Quiet Deluxe today, which was the typewriter Ernest Hemingway preferred, and was using when he committed suicide. But I sure don't own anything the ones in the video. The closest I can come is an Underwood number five, maybe the most famous writer's typewriter ever made. It was so popular, and so many were made, that it's still easy to find one cheap today.

What is it with typewriter people? It’s always got to be the $10 typewriter. In this case $5. I guarantee there’s some pricey typewriters on the desk. And here we are 30 yrs later and the budding typewriter enthusiast can start off with a $20 KMM, have a blast and maybe actually do some typing.
