I miss having a typewriter at work. If for nothing else than envelopes and the forms you are talking about where you just need to type in a name and a dollar figure.

Can you get it repaired? I know repair places are probably more difficult to find than typewriters themselves. Or you might find something second hand at an used office supply store. It is amazing the weird little things you can find out there.

*hugs*

And of course, no one is owning up to having dropped something on it. *sigh*
