I am not a typewriter aficionado at all, but since I met the Brother Deluxe I've had a big crush on this machine. I would have no use for it, but I think it is just beautiful.

I'm thinking of 3D printing a lookalike case for some SBC so I can use it as a computer.

My family had one of these when I was growing up (in gray - not the great blue color you linked to).

When I was 11-12 and didn't have a computer, I used it to type up BASIC programs that I either took to school to type into the Apple ][ there, or just imagined how they worked...

Sort of the opposite of your plan, I guess...
