markinthailand Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I've looked for awhile, and while I can find them at the used market on Bamrungrat Road (near PRC), they are all Thai (for obvious reasons). I need one in English. Any ideas? -Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another know it all ,who has to make a comment,if Mark does not want it,no problem, I know its a fair price,but this is Thai Visa ,Chiang Mai and it seems there are an over abundance of posters who cannot stop themselves from making snide,stupid,non constructive remarks, take care Worgeordie That's true, but for that price shouldn't YOU be getting it serviced and providing the new ribbon for the would be buyer?

I was wondering if you can still get ribbons for them. Takes me back over 50 years I learned on an old black Underwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 The typewriter works fine ,so its not useless,and you dont know what Mark wants it for. and of course you can get ribbons. so just another non constructive post Hello Dolly, If you could advise the OP where to buy a brand new manual typewriter for 1k bht ,then anything else you say is unproductive and a waste of time really regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weary Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Passed by the second hand depot place just North of the Nong Hoi intersection today and happened to see at least three vintage type writers. They could be Thai for all I know but then again, they may not, and it might be just what you're after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatouthruthefog Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I have a nice small portable that understands and writes perfect English. Only needs a ribbon, and they can be obtained from the same shop in Chang Moy Road that serviced it. 750b inc case. PM me, giving me your own e-mail address, if interested.

jmdf103 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 just wondering what the advantages of typewriting are vs word processing on a pc, Is it just a personal preference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
