Nice work! And even nicer for you to have found this one for free... Around here (Paris) I see more an more often prices going up for typewriters, including true wrecks that are sold as 'antiques' or even just typewriters sold as fancy decorative objects for fashionistas.

Certainly, Leboncoin (French closest equivalent to Craigslist/Facebook marketplace, real huge around here) is a good place to look. But even there, I've noticed an increase in the "decoration" considerations. Maybe it's just me getting paranoid?

BTW, leboncoin is also interesting to find books... if anyone is interested in getting what is obviously an other type old & completely useless analog tech, but a great dust magnet ;)
