Rocking the Kasbah

Perhaps, like me, you've seen Kasbah Mod's beautiful custom typewriters.






But I didn't know that "around 75-100 machines are sold each month at prices ranging from $200 to $1,200."


The success of Kasbah Mod and USB Typewriter make me start to believe that the time is ripe for what McGet calls a 21st-century typewriter. What do you think?

I had no idea either he was selling that many a month! There's a guy here in LA that sells custom ones which he semi regularly posts on Craigslist and formerly at Etsy too, I think, but he doesn't get as much press.
