Last weekend I picked up this Canon Typestar 6 electronic “typewriter” (circa 1984) for $10 in a “Good Sammy” Op shopIn mitigation, let me explain that I only bought it for the “タイプライター, タイプライター, タイプライター” (“Typewriter, Typewriter, Typewriter”) Japanese carry case it came in(The three R’s: Repetition, Repetition, Repetition. If it’s good enough for it’s good enough for me!)No power adapter, but the battery compartment houses 4 “D” size batteries.

I purchased four of the same from the local supermarket and hey presto this thing works – however it struggles to feed standard A4 copier paper, and I’ll need to wait until the two rolls of fax paper I ordered arrive ($1 on eBay, $5 postage) before I can test it out properly.Without a user manual it’s hard to know what the function keys do and what combination to press – but by trial and error I was able to type and print with it. I say “type and print” because that is exactly what you do – you type a paragraph, press the Enter key, and it prints.While searching the Internet for a user manual, I came across a question that another lucky Typestar 6 owner had posted on an online forum:“ How do I activate typing mode?”It’s not a lot to ask of a typewriter, is it, really? That it should actually write as you type? Sadly, no-one answered the question even though the answer is obvious:Dude, buy a proper typewriter!Sorry Canon, but the Typestar 6 is no typewriter – I don’t care how many times it’s written on the Japanese carry case – it’s a thermal dot matrix printer which just happens to have a keyboard attached.Still — as unimpressed and underwhelmed as I am with the Typestar 6 — I am curious about some of these electronic “typewriters”.

Don’t knock ’em till you’ve tried ’em, I say.Well I tried the Typestar 6 and I can confirm what many of you may already know – it sucks!Hmmm wonder if that case will hold a Groma Kolibri? Now that’s a typewriter, typewriter, typewriter! I bought one something like that a few months ago – a Casio, I recall.

My experience was similar to yours. I was curious when I saw it on eBay for a very low price, so I clicked “Buy!” in a moment of ill-advised but feverish enthusiasm and curiosity.This was quickly dampened once I actually received the item and realized that the ribbon cartridge was not included, so I have to source one of those.My enthusiasm was dampened yet again when, having received said cartridge, I actually tried using it to type something. The paper seemed to fit poorly in the roller – loose, and giving the impression of being exceedingly cheap. Which, in fact, it is, being made primarily of plastic. And not even the good stuff.This, combined with the thing’s apparent desire to stop printing randomly and without forewarning, made the whole exercise rather a bad experience, one which concluded with the whole unit being chucked into the bin on trash day, ribbon and all.And I didn’t even get a nifty Typewriter!Typewriter!Typewriter! Case out of the deal.At least I still have my Olympia. We still have my husband’s electronic typewriter from back in the day, though I have NO idea why.

And when I say “we,” I mean “he.” I won’t touch the thing. Had to use one back when I was a secretary in the mid- to late-’80s.

Sure, it was nice to type a business letter and have a whole line of text show up in the little LCD window before it appeared on the paper — used less Wite-Out that way — but otherwise, the thing was SLOW to keep up with my awesomely fast typing skillz. 🙂I guess I saw the “typewriter! Typewriter!” thing as a play on “Tora! Was that just me who thought that?
