Vintage typewriter - sourcing advice needed

[gt7766c]

Hey all.  Anyone into vintage typewriters or know of a reliable place to get one?  Looking to get one as an anniversary gift for my wife who’s a writer.  Mechanical versions.  Mainly a display piece but want something fully functional.  I’m starting from zero, know nothing about these.  Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks for the links. I did a little more research and learning.  If you do have one @bjones and interested in selling shoot me a PM.  Some are more my wife’s style than others.  Looking to get one in the next couple weeks.
