Do you have a typewriter repair store near you? They usually sell refurbished machines as well as repair them and probably accept used machines for consignment. Personally, I just took my mother's typewriter, which used to be her father's, but not everybody can do that. It probably needs a new / refurbished platen, as the original rubber has hardened and most key presses result in double strike.

Challenge is to find something that is closed to refurbished like new. There are just a few manufactures in US, Japan, and India.
