Dropped by Sungei road's "Thieves Market" after visiting the temple yesterday. Found this typewriter that is still working and bought it for $18 after some bargaining. All it needs is an ink strip and it will be ready to go! Hubby said he will have lots of fun fiddling with it and restoring the exterior. There is something vaguely therapeutic about pounding hard at those keys and seeing each word being etched out onto the paper,like you really MEAN everything you write(say).
There were also many old old manual cameras lying around, the Yashicas and the like, and even a Singapore-made Rollei which was going for $120. Took some effort to resist making a purchase. But I will be back for more.
