      That’s impressive! It looks like many of them are “reconditioned” so not completely new, but interesting to see people maintaining them.

    Nakajima still make some electronic daisy wheel typewriters.

    A couple of companies still make manual typewriters, but they are widely regarded as garbage.

    That said a lot of old typewriters, especially manual ones, will work fine, and the ribbons are widely available.

    I see some on Amazon. Maybe not the best place to buy one, but it seems to confirm they are in production still at least.
