So I haven't posted here in... Six years? I'm THINKING this is the right place for this thread, but I'm not 100% positive. Mods, feel free to move it wherever it needs to go.

For all the arcade collectors out there - specifically those who frequent big pinball/arcade machine/what have you sales - have any of you ever run into a Harvard Metal Typer? I'm on the hunt for one, but I'm thinking they're starting to get more and more locked down by collectors. I'm really hoping to find one within a day's drive - so I'm talking Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.

For those unfamiliar with the machine, you can see what I'm talking about below...

I'm far more interested in the one on the left, the "Mint Model," as that's the one I remember using at Canobie Lake Park so many summers ago.

Anybody seen one? Any leads on snagging one would be very much appreciated!

Trying this again, as it's been about six months.

Metal Typers will pop up on Ebay every once in a while, but with sellers who are never willing to ship.

Anybody seen one at arcade/pinball shows in recent months?
