Typewriter

I have been given a new typewriter recently as a birthday/Christmas present from my father. Very cool except...I broke it. In my excitement and haste to unpack it I forced the carriage which no longer advances on its own. Grrr. Now I feel quite stupid and instead of just buying a new ribbon I have to get it fixed.

Sadly I live in Australia (a couple of hours from Sydney) and thanks to Australia being classified as Mars to most people, particularly the US postal service, I now have the fun challenge of finding someone who can either teach me how to fix it or fix it for me. Any helpers?

My idiocy aside I love owning a typewriter and can't wait to get it working. Don't get me wrong I love my laptop and I really love going online to browse for new tips and information but I'm always afraid my computer is going to crash and I'm going to lose everything. I like to write stories and though I am a pure coward in that I have only ever let people read one short one-shot of Harry Potter fanfiction I would be utterly devestated if anything I wrote were to be lost. Hence my wish for a typewriter. With a typewriter I can type everything straight onto paper and put it in a folder to be found even if we get one of our many blackouts or grab during Australia's super-fun bushfires (seriously I hate bushfires). Typewriters may have their downsides (no backspace for example) but stuff doesn't get corrupted or crash like with a laptop. It's there, safe and sound, until I throw it out. Now I just have to fix mine so I can actually use it.

Oh...it's a Brother Deluxe 760TR if anyone can help.
