Typewriter?

Question

I'm thinking of buying myself a vintage typewriter (I'm going to boot fairs, looking on ebay, etc)

What's a good make?

How do they work?

Will I be able to buy new ribbons and stuff if it needs replacing?

Do you know where I could buy one?

(sorry this is probably in the wrong place, I didn't know where else to put it)
