We bought ours at the Chicago store RIGHT after they became available again this spring. I opened the box and tested it out and yep, there's a ding.
I bought another one recently to have as a replacement part, since it's being retired. Haven't checked that one to see if it dings too.

If you have Kit or are thinking of ever having her, I think this is a must have piece. I picked several up today at AG Place in NYC because of it is probably going to be retired and I do not want to have to hunt it down on Ebay. I picked one up for my niece for the future too. Neither of us have a Kit.
The typewriter looks wonderful on Kit's desk It really makes a wonderful display set. As everyone else says, the typewriter is a very nice AG piece. I think it is worth every bit of the $22 it cost. The accessories are so cute.
The red ribbon really makes it a festive piece. Brings back memories of the typewriter I got one year for Christmas. Since both my brother and I used our typewriters prolifically, this item is an AG piece that is probably the most representative of either of us. I wish I had kept an old non electric typewriter for myself.
Though sold out online/phone order, some stores still are carrying it. I left 4 on the shelf at the NYC store. If you have this item on your list, it is definitely worth getting now by calling individual stores.

Love this set! The typewriter is heavy and if you push one key, it pushes down the whole row, but other than that, no complaints! Love the box, Kit's "newspapers" and the eraser - which really works!

Best historical accessory ever! Love this one. I'm not sure what prompted me to pick this up last summer, but I did and I'm so glad. I love all the detail put into it and how it relates to Kit's story. I mean there's even a picture of "The Schnoz"! The best part is that it dings when it gets to the end. I get a kick out of that.

I got mine when it first was released. I think this set is adorable like Kit's school supplies with real crayons. My typewriter dings when in reaches the end of the line without hitting the return or anything. I love that it does this because in makes it even more authentic.
