Typewriter Atrocities
I'm thinking of starting a society: People for the Ethical Treatment of Typewriters.
Have you ever seen anything like this?
The seller calls it an Industrial Steampunk Plasma Typewriter.
They want $600 for it. At least it still has its keys, I suppose.
"It's alive, it's aliive!"
If you've come across any other cringeworthy typewriter modifications, I'd be interested to hear about them.

Re: Typewriter Atrocities
We actually started a thread quite a while ago for this type of machine, it would be great if you could add this steam punk junk to it. I wouldn't have an issue with someone doing this to a typewriter if the machine can be restored to its original state, but looking at the photos it seems that option wasn't in the thoughts of the 'artist'.

Re: Typewriter Atrocities
Whoops! Sorry Uwe. Didn't realise there was already a thread to this effect.
I agree. Steampunk "conversions" tend to be unrecoverable once made, and this looks like it's no different. I suppose it's a just a different attitude to what we would consider history.
