    Can anybody share a general price range of what serviceable machines go for in private sales and whether there are any available?

    While I know a reasonable amount about the Metal Typer mechanics, I do
    not know what they sell for these days. I have two machines that I
    bought many years ago, neither of which is for sale...

    Why not ask Crow River? They sell parts and machines - at least you
    would know the game is in good condition if you got it from them.

    Tokens are a pain at the moment...it appears that the company that made
    them is no longer producing them.

    Does anyone know how much they weigh. I need to know the weight of the top part and the weight of the heavy metal bottom part. Also do you know the height of pieces when
    separated. Thank you so much for any help.

    Are you talking about the Metal Typer machine as separate from the Metal
    Typer Stand? There are a number of possible stands. One stand/base is
    metal and the others are wood.

    I may have a flyer at my shop with that info. I've emailed you the
    service manual for these machines in the meantime.
