It's a good thing that those that are left are built like battleships. They're hardly the sort of thing that'll be cobbled together by olde worlde crafts types.

They can have my manual typewriter when they pry it from my cold dead hands!
Somebody had to say it. ;-)
Seriously, mine is a portable, vintage 1965. There are some things it still does better than a printer. Such as not needing electricity, and working with adding-machine ribbons. Which can be re-inked with the same ink cartridge refills they sell for printers.

Stamp pad ink, too. But I'm talking about the containers of liquid ink sold for refilling the printer ink cartridges on various computer printers (non-thermal type). They work, too.
Ink is ink, basically. If it flows, it goes.

That's right, the early dot matrix printers used cloth ribbon spools that autmaticly reversed.
IDC and OKI come to mind.
Later, cloth ribbons in cartridges in an endless loop.
