What is the value of a working IBM Electromatic typewriter today?
Hi, In all probability, not very much. With the invention of work processors and computers, and with all the available fonts, etc., the electronic typewriter has become more of a paperweight than anything else. I have a working IBM Selectric, and I dig it out once in awhile just to keep it working right. Unfortunately, I can't give it away. If you really want an idea of their value, try searching Ebay to see if any are listed there. The only value would most likely be sentimental, at this point. Hope this helps, Cubby
