  I love my 1948 Royal Quiet De Luxe. Make sure to use cardstock under your printer paper to protect the platten and kinda even out the ink strikes when using a manual typewriter.

  I like using older technology especially dot matrix printers since I don't like using all in one printers. I want to start typing again, and relearn Grammer and punctuation in 2024. I definitely want a manual standard typewriter, no batteries just me powering it

  I have a computer for just other life stuff. But when I write I have the computer disconnected from the internet, spell check turned off and predictive text off. If I need to check a word I have a dictionary (yes an honest-to-god physical dictionary) on my desk.

  Enjoyed the video! I agree that beauty and quality peaked with the glossy, black round-key models of the 1920s and 30s. They’re my favorites and make up most of my collection of about 85 machines. I also favor machines in near-perfect condition over ones that show their years.

  I love your argument on using typewriters. I wish they were more prevalent in society today. Also, I would recommend looking at Julius Evola's take against Nietzsche's ideology. Existentialism is a great starting place, but it never really helped anyone at the end.

• 
  @classictypewriterАй бұрын

  I agree. I never thought it did. An interesting thread to follow is a book called 'A Wicked Company.' about french enlightenment atheists. Anyway, Nietzsche is one of the smarter people in history, because he questioned so deeply what most people don't question at all.

  A workflow I’ve found effective is 1) Use computer simply for notes, machetes, or rapid ideation. Especially with a phone, you can record thoughts in the moment. 2) Typewrite your computer rough draft and see how much you slow down, and how much it changes. 3) Use a quality pencil you love to notate the page. 4) Repeat these steps several times. You may come up with multiple final drafts! 5) A few weeks later, pull them off the shelf and read what you wrote. If you impress yourself, it’s a Keeper. If not, it’s a Stinker. And that’s the 5-step “Stinker-Keeper” method!

  Yep - exactly this. I myself cycle between Scrivener (great for assembly, corkboarding, organizing), Indesign (in final layout you see things you otherwise miss) , iA Writer (focus) ... and my 1970 Hermes 3000 with a LAMY Scribble 0.7 mechanical pencil for annotations. Sounds like a lot, I know, but that's just what I ended up with over the years.

  I love writing on my SC. Only thing is i'm one of those writers that always looks back as they write. So there are often times I'll get ahead, then realize i need to change something. I suppose i could always cut out the useful bits with scissors. Seen it done with screenplay drafts.

• 
  @classictypewriterАй бұрын

  Resist! ;) Everyone has a tendency to look back as they write: forcing one to draft 'forward' is a powerful brain training. One could jot notes down about thoughts and keep drafting. Everyone has their own path to productivity.

  I just picked up one of these today for $15 at goodwill. It is the first typewriter so far that I fully regret buying. I like to tinker and attempt repairs myself but I have limited knowledge. I should have inspected more carefully but the price was right. I replaced a drive belt and cleaned it up. I did not notice that the carriage is swinging freely and there is no string at all. Any tips? Or perhaps I could mail it to your guy if he’s reasonable. I’m considering giving up on this one but I’m not quite there yet.

  Im getting one that has the right carriage knob missing, will this make it hard to load paper,or can you just use the left knob to load paper?

•

  Yes, you can still use it with just one knob. In fact, a lot of the older machines only had one knob. Though if you contact me on my side, I can send you one of the knobs I have here. Just the cost of shipping

  There's something incredibly special about using a typewriter in this day and age. Call it a relic, but a typewriter, for me, is a portal to the days of the likes of James Baldwin, Ernest Hemingway, and Jack Kerouac when they let their keys and ink ribbons channel their imaginations to their pages.

  We grew up with a mostly working Royal KMG typewriter in our playroom. I learned everything I ever needed to know about how a typewriter works on that machine. I now have an almost working Royal Model H with decimal tabs, a working Royal KMM with an unattached cover, and an Underwood 319 portable in excellent condition. You can have your Smith Coronas. I actually also have a Smith Corona electric typewriter that auto returns continually when I turn it on and a Smith Corona The Office 2000 Memory Typewriter NA5HH that we bought at a sidewalk sale from a TV and appliance retailer who was going out of business. It was an open box purchase, along with extra ribbon cartridges and print wheels but no manual. The typewriter/word processor is almost useless without the manual. Phooey! Make mine Royal!
