Calling #typewriter users! Does anyone know where to source a manual for this? (Panasonic electric t36, or is there somewhere other than the top front to find the model number? 馃槄) This should get me back to writing when my hands are sore and I can't do screens, so I'm excited! I've used a similar one at work, but could use a refresher on maintenance, and if anyone knows where to find replacement parts/ribbons I would appreciate it! #maintenance #repair #vintage #tech #diy #boost #writing

A photo of a freshly unboxed electric typewriter sitting on my bed. It's grey with black keys, with the power cord sitting on top. The paper tray is open, showing some packaging material that was put inside for protection. The machine itself appears to be just about brand new, or fixed up to near perfect condition, even though it was made around 1986, so it must be nearly 40 years old. Looking at the keyboard, many of the shift key symbols over the number keys are different than what we are used to now, and around the sides there are several keys that point to alternative functions, not all of which I can remember the use of.

Sidenote: depending on how sturdy these are, I may need repair advice sooner than later, since all the "fragile" stickers mean NOTHING to USPS. The bubble wrap was mostly intact and there was a cover on the typewriter, overall, but I am unsure just how much kicking around the machine can take before it uh, doesn't work quite right. 馃槵 I'll try to put it through its paces tomorrow, but without a manual, I don't know of all the paces I might want to test.

A photo of a large cardboard box with a bunch of very clear, red and white "FRAGILE" stickers a over it, in a "can't miss it" sort of way. The entire corner of the box has been caved in from two different sides, the box looks like it was sat upon by a large beast.
