Good Luck!  Maybe a linguistics dept. somewhere will have a tag sale of
no-longer-needed equipment.  Or the estate sale of a deceased

there's probably several gross of the things in a warehouse in Dubuque,
gathering dust.

You're lucky your machine still works.  I had a big electric Olivetti
(daisy-wheel model) that was supposed to function as printer to an Apple II.
I hardly ever used it; finally took it to a resale shop.  "Does it work?"
"Of course..."  Plug in, start typing Now is the time.......:  cxu wr nua
