I have a Smith-Corona XE-6000 electric typewriter. It has a DB9 port on the back. Can I use it as a teletype somehow? [more inside]

Reading this thread has rekindled my interest in acquiring an old manual typewriter. How much should I expect to pay for a typewriter in good working order? Are there any characteristics I should consider beyond ease of typing and appearance? Can anyone recommend a good place to look in the San Francisco area?
