Commodore typewriter ?

[Blacklord]

Now I know Commodore used to do typewriter repairs, but this looks like a model  that could have been built in the 80's.



Anyone seen one of these before ?

Well, Commodore was mainly making typewriters, adding machines, and even calculators before they got into computers with the PET and VIC-20.

I still have a really old red-LED based Commodore calculator that was given to me back in the 5th grade when I was about 10 or 11 years old.  It ran on a standard 9-volt battery and still works to this day.

I collect C= calculators, have around 70 of them (they take up less space than computers!)

What's the model you have ?

I've never seen that model before...  The only one pictured on Bo Zimmerman's site is this one:



Obviously an older model than the one you found.

I had one of those at school as well ... no clue where it is now, probably a land fill somewhere :-(

Here's a store selling a Commodore 30100.

Maybe these things are new ?

$394.99 USD for a typewriter? Geezum.

[nikoniko]

Here's one for $69.95, but I'm not sure if the site's been updated since 2000...

I don't have a C= mechanical typewriter, but I do have a C= mechanical adding machine.

Showed it off at a FCUG meeting in 2006,

They were all made under contract. CBM didn't make their own stuff until they got into calculators and bought MOS.
