Great vid! When I started college, I couldn't afford a computer and printer to type my essays for class so one day, while shopping at Salvation Army, I found a vintage, manual typewriter Royal Quiet Deluxe in a cool case. It was only $25. So i bought it, cleaned it, oiled it, bought a new ink ribbon and typed all my esays and term papers through college. Still have it.
My first ever typewriter was from my sped teacher and the gave me a Underwood touch-master 5 and I have had to do some modifications on her but ever since I saw your video I have not really done that much work on it because once I saw one of your first videos I started to understand it more and fixed it all I one day and I thank you for that❤
I just got my penpal into the typist community. I sold them a machine I wasn’t interested in keeping, but fitted their preferences. Another idea to consider is a good typing course if you are interested in getting a manual machine. I insisted they have a good book, so I bought them a Copy of college typewriting. It’s the same I used and my grandma used.
Well, the only typewriter I have is Zeta chechoslovakia gray typewriter with 4 rows of keys and 2 characters in each typebar with 44 character keys and 7 other keys (Tab, Shift key, Shift lock, Space bar, Second shift ket, Whatever key that does nothing and backspace key) and it has everything original parts except ribbon that i had to replace after 70+ years of use with a new 13mm double color ribbon. this typewriter also has 88 characters but the reason it has no ampersand and some other symbols is chechoslovak letters with accents. i had it for over 2 years & after 70+ years of use, it is still working. It is manual & portable style.
Another professional repair person - Charles/Charlie from TypewriterJustice based in Dallas/Fort Worth, he’s worked on my Royal QDL and Olivetti Lettera 22. He has a lot of Olympias and Torpedos, but also a large cache of various parts machines. He’s also quite friendly!

You can also end up in the typewriter world, like I did by salvaging typewriters. I have three now. I just found another yesterday at a recycling center. The motor was making a squealing sound when I turned it on. I knew that it meant that the shaft bushings went dry. A little bit of disassembly, light cleaning, and lubrication, and it's a working typewriter again!
Another great video. I love my ultra portables and have never had a problem with them moving around. Another great place to find typewriters: ask older relatives. They often have them stashed away and are glad to have someone interested or just to get them out of the house and unless they were stored somewhere nasty they are in great shape.
I just bought a Brother Deluxe 220 from Etsy who had it shipped from overseas, pricey but the typewriter arrived in excellent condition, clean, well maintained (refurbished) and appears to be in good working order. Though I know nothing about typewriters I can type well enough to be happy with my first typewriter purchase. I just watched your video and a couple others on how to use the features that work on a full manual typer. I have the feeling I will end up buying another one.
I have 5 typewriters I love them. I do love to use them. But I don't use them as much as I did when I first got into typewriter collecting. I still like my poetry and some longer prose on them but mostly short story's and such.
i went with what i had, my mother left me my grandfathers silverette, and now i bought and own 56 of them, all in working condition thanks to careful work by myself
I have three 50s SCs. I advertised that I wanted free manual typwriters and yhat's how I got the Silent Super. Don't remember where the Clipper came from but the Skywriter was an Ebay purchase. I am getting the stuff to clean them all up. I picked up two electrics from Ebay ( I blame this vlog!). I prefer manuals but need to build up hand strength first.
And now a blue and white Galaxie! Totally your fault :). I did let myself get outbid on a 1939 Royal. Decided I needed more color in my life. And, a comment on the 30 typewriters in 30 days. I keep a ledger of what I spend. I find that I pay more attention to spending when I write it out. This is definitely something you could do on a typewriter. I'm already planning to set it up.
No idea why i clicked on this video. So going with a manual ultraportable because this will be an impulse buy. Thanks for the help!
I've grown up in the 80s with my parents Typewriter at home (Olivetti Lettera 32) wich I used to learn to type, school and play around, for a very long time. In recent years, realising that I was missing something from thinking on the screen of a computer instead of thinking in my head, losing concentration etc, and wanting to write more (stories, and other things...) I've decided to get a typewriter, this was an Olympus SF DeLuxe. As an Mechanical Engineer, I went back to typewriters and started to write work technical report drafts on the typewriter before doing it on the computer for the final versions. I am not exaggerating when I say that this was life changing! Now I have, in perfect working order an Olympia SF Deluxe, Olympia SM9, Remington Quiet-Ritter and right now restoring a Brother deluxe Baby Blue for my 8 year old niece, who wants to learn to type. I've bought the SM9 from a local professional service man for 250 GBP, in immaculate like new condition, the others total cost has been between them 70 GBP, two found on Gumtree and the Brother found recently on Facebook market place, all were in great condition and they were great fairly simple projects, the Quiet-Ritter was a bit more complicated as I wanted to do my best to bring it back to ' as close to as new' condition as possible, it needed a re-rubbered Platen and re-rubbered feedroll but turned up really well, great solid machine, the SF is one of my favourites as the one who introduced me to this (new?) way of doing things in the Digital world, but so far I love them all. Since buying my first typewriter, I feel my life has improved in many unexpected ways, I will never let them go, but the Brother for my niece of course!
I grew up with typewriters (80s kid and took mandatory typing classes). My mom had an Underwood 319 (rebranded Olivetti) which she used a ton when she wasn't renting Selectrics. I also have my grandfather's german made Optima. I came back into possession of them after my mom died in August. That fired up my interest in typewriters again. I have used both those machines to type up notes for my son's absences. Yes, they need fresh ribbons, but whatever. Still gonna use it. Even in that short time, I found quickly that I did not like the feel or performance of my mom's Underwood. Made sense. She wasn't a fan of it and why she rented Selectrics to for heavy typing use that the Underwood can't handle. Fast forward to now. In my limited experience, I bought an early 60s Royal Arrow ultra portable from ShopGoodwill. I am waiting for it to ship and excited because it's what I bought as my first typewriter and not an inherited machine. I do need to dig in and figure out quickly how to clean, lube parts and change or respool ribbons. I have found myself to be really keen on ultraportable machines. Love the aesthetics and small footprint since I don't have room for anything larger (no desktops for me). I'm already eying Consul, Princess and Kalibri machines. I want items that I have no issue reselling should they not meet my expectations.

Just bought my first typewriter Its a Royal 970 and i got it for 20 bucks Works great, just needed a clean, lube, and new ribbon Also it weighs like 40 pounds... its a behemoth
Smith Corona 5TE Electrics are awesome because they look like the classic SC manuals but they have the advantage of the motor-assisted super light touch. You can type really fast on them with barely any pressure. Also I read some advice somewhere that (if you are able) you should buy several machines, find the ones you like the best and sell the excess, because you never know what typewriter feels best until you have it in front of you. My first typewriter was definitely an impulse buy and 9 typewriters later I finally know what style/touch/brand I prefer. Of course, the "selling the excess" part is the hardest if you have hoarder tendencies like a lot of us 😂

As a veteran collector let me just give my two cents: the more a typewriter “looks like a typewriter” as in circular black keys, the less features it probably has and the less reliable it probably is.

Older typewriters (from the 1920s and 30s) have fewer additional features like margin controls, 1 keys, tabs, etc. That is all based on preference. Machines that are from those older eras were made out of better materials than the typewriters from the 60s and 70s and today. That does mean, however, they've been sitting around longer collecting dust or rust which can make them less reliable or more likely to be damaged

@@JustMyTypewriter Thank you so much for the clarification. I'm just beginning to collect typewriters. I'm not sure, actually, that I will be a true collector, for now I'm just interested in finding out facts about typewriters, as well as finding a very niche type of typewriters - Serbian Cyrillic typewriters. I'm from Serbia, our national and traditional script is Cyrillic, but during communist Yugoslavia (1944-1991) Cyrillic typewriters were very rare, sometimes almost impossible to find, and manufactured by only a few factories in the world. They were much more in production before WWII, so like about a 30-40% of all Serbian Cyrillic typewriters on the market are 80+ years old.
Great breakdown of the differences. And a good reminder to ask ourselves what on earth we are doing in the first place. :D
I quite literally just bought my first typewriter. It's electric and it is in pristine condition. Luckily for me it only cost $30 I'm so glad to have gotten it. I've always wanted one since I was a kid

I’ve been going down this rabbit hole and this is a great place to start!
Another fine video,such great information 👍. Thankyou for taking the time and effort of making these machines.
Back in the early 1990s I avidly collected typewriters, had about 20 or 30 of them. Had to throw most of them out around 2000, because they "took up too much room" (according to my wife). I only kept a 1949 Underwood Universal (same model as shown @8:45 but olive drab instead of black) and I recently bought a very nice & cheap 1959 Adler Standard Universal to replace the Underwood, which I thought was broken (turned out it wasn't). Btw, I'm rather amazed by the prices these 1920s desk top typewriters (of which I had quite a few) fetch nowadays.
I found an IBM selctric in a flee market for 50€. I was so excited. It was the winter and I live in Finland, so I carried it through the snow to my car. I slipped a little bit by the car and I thought “there’s no way i’m dropping this!!!” So i pushed it against the car door and dented the metal on the car 😂. It was worth it!

Things to think about that I have realised; don’t just buy the antique store bargain, Im stuck with one cheap and one truly antique one that are both moneypits to fix (empire baby deluxe, followed by a standard folding typewriter no1 dated Feb 1910
I don’t consider myself a professional because fixing these machines to me is more like poking it until it works. But i will say that starting with a desk machine is good because it’s less compact and squished together
My first was a Remington typewriter model 12 from 1923, got it for 25euro in fantastic condition with almost zero chips and not much rust

If you have motor noise, it might just be that the shaft bushings went dry. Most modern electric motors use sealed cartridge bearings, which have a very long service life because they have precision ball bearings that are permanently sealed with lubricant. Older electric motors have the shaft gliding on a thin film of oil on a bronze bushing. If the oil is gone, the motor will either be really noisy, or sometimes seized. Every case I've run across, I've been able to restore motor operation just by putting a single drop of oil on each bushing.
Totally agree smith and corona machines are a good start very reliable
I think USA has a lot of differences regarding the facilities to obtain something antique. My two beloved typewriters were from my grandma, an Olivetti Lettera 35 and a Royal Royalty 120. They were a nightmare, broken, dirty and forgotten in a corner. I repaired them just for love to mom's old memories. I thought my family was the only case but searching in different places I've never found a Typewriter in good condition or even 100% functional and I live in a big cosmopolitan city. There's a lot of typewriters but all need to be fixed in some way.
My first was a Hermes 3000 - but now I like the look of the older Corona 3 and 4 models. To type on I have still not found my favorite.
I’m thinking about getting the same typewriter that I saw on Band of Brothers.
I need to use a typewriter for actual work due to regulatory constraints.. Ideally it should be non electronic (does not need an electrical outlet), able to type onto standard 8.5x11, able to make corrections (or at least strike through errors) on the fly, be relatively portable, and be user friendly enough to be used by a person that has not used a typewriter since he had to for school when he was seven years old and computers were not yet ubiquitous. I don’t care about aesthetics, or how cool other people will think I am if they see it on a shelf. I need it to be robust enough for everyday field work, easy to maintain, and easy to find spare parts and supplies for. Does that machine exist?
@JustMyTypewriter
Жыл бұрын
Manual typewriter, I would suggest desk standard for heavy use, but if you need it to be portable then maybe a portable or even lightweight portable. To make corrections, you'll have to type over (backspace and x out mistake) or use white out. You get the correction elements on electrics. For parts and repair, that's a different animal. I would go with a well serviced machine to begin with (from a professional tech) then you don't have to worry about sourcing parts. Supplies- ribbon would be the only one I can think of. I would stay away from remingtons because their ribbon contraption is a bit more difficult and I would stay away from lightweight portables because they use smaller spools which can be harder to source- however, if you rewrap your ribbon (I have a 101 ribbon video on my channel) then you really only need the ribbon and that is still readily available. I would suggest metal body- plastic ones haven't held up as well for me. It sounds like you need a smith corona 5 series from the 1950s (they're my favorite and the one I recommend the most). Here's a video on those models- kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z3iMsbqAXbnSpdI.html

I'm experiencing a problem with my electric typewriter. Not sure if you would be able to help me figure out a solution. I was gifted a BROTHER WP-760D for a book I'm writing. Wrote nearly 16 pages out before I had to change the ribbon. The ribbon arrived. I placed it in and pressed print. - it worked. I went downstairs for a minute while it printed. Came back upstairs to my room, the page was only 2/3rds printed. And now nothing I print will show up on paper. No font on the paper? Not sure what happened. I mean it printed - and then decideded not to?

Thanks for another great video Sara! As first typewriters go I agree with you on the 5 series Smith Corona, but the 6 series are really nice to. Since for many people there first typewriter will be their only typewriter. I really suggest trying to as you suggest try before you buy. There was someone that was looking for a typewriter near us that looked at an Olympia SM9 we had for sale and he just didn't like the aesthetic of that typewriter. We let him try several other typewriters and found that he is definitely likes the look and feel an Adler/Triumph, specifically something like a Perfekt. This surprised me based on what he said he was looking for so you never know until you try it and see it in person. If someone pressed me for an answer I would probably suggest the Olympia SM8 or SM9 for the same reasons you mentioned the Smith Corona 5 series. They can be a little more expensive but they are bulletproof machines in my opinion and by no means rare. Finally when it comes to Professional Typewriter Techs, I would suggest adding Bill Wahl at Mesa Typewriter Exchange. To my knowledge this is where Ted Munk received a lot of his initial information to create the Typewriter Database. Thanks again for another great video!

So some machines (electrics, IBMs) require a cartridge. Others use ribbons- I have a ribbons 101 video that explain how those work! I always recommend testing out machines first if you can and consider whether you want a professionally serviced machine or one you want to work on yourself. If you work on one yourself- you'll be limited to what's available to you locally if you want to try it in person!
So my first typewriter is a wee tiny Triumph Tippa but I'm now looking for a big desktop machine that can take a serious beating because I've got more novels in me... And I kinda want to get back at a noisy neighbour, lol. Unfortunately not many are sold in working condition in my country and shipping a big one sounds like an expensive nightmare for all parties involved so I'll have to make it a long project. I don't mind it though, it's a process a bit like befriending a new person. I like the look of older full metal machines, mainly because I mostly write historical fiction and it fits the mood but also because I have a gorgeous Singer sewing machine from the 30s (Still in use! I've named her Betsy) and it would be nice to have them be similar in age and/or aesthetic. Any recommendations on what I might want to keep my eyes peeled for? As far as brands or names go in such machines I've mainly seen Remington and Olympia, and a couple of Underwoods but those sell really fast.

If you don't mind the clunky and sort of odd looking, I also have had an Olivetti Linea 98- much more 70s in style, but really fun to type with on longer projects.

who really needs the tool? i see it as a day by day work-tool heavy usage. i really despise collectors the truly typing community >more than a thousand page typen, if you had typen less, please trash the thing. im really searching channels of the truly writers typing community (day by day heavy work). if someone knows of heavy typewriter users channels, please let me know.
