I got excited and found what looked like a candidate manual typewriter for easy conversion to any layout imaginable, the Sears Easy Touch from the mid-'60s. The slugs just slide right on and off. Then I saw its price and a typing sample showing off its build quality. Shame.

I want a typewriter with the Dvorak layout, but they're as rare as hens' teeth.
There's a place that converts typewriters, but only Selectrics. They're excellent typewriters, but my goal is a manual over an electric. Besides, nearly $1,000 for purchase, conversion, and shipping is quite an investment.
A Blickensderfer with the non-qwerty Blick keyboard would also be nice if it's in good enough condition to be a weekly workhorse.
Oh, bloody hell. Not all the palantirs are accounted for, you idiots. https://computerfairi.es/media/QWr17CPVdDpqLgXokb4
