It’s so amazing! That color. Someone will be in for a treat with this one.

I’m Joe Van Cleave and I approve this message!

@Joe_VanCleave 🤣😂

Those are really cute! Simple, but stylish 😊

Wow! So mindful to cut out holes at the handles for the carriers to be able to ensure proper grip and overall enhanced safety 😊

Nice work Bob! Looks good!

In this case, I suppose ASMR stands for "A Scrub Moving Rust"? 😂

What are you even doing? Are you cutting like the roller? What’s the point? What benefit does this bring? Just taking like .01 off the diameter at .002 per rev? What is happening?

I love how "Bittersweet Symphony" is playing in the background! 😊

If you feel up to it, show the audience the shop's spare parts collection! In sections if need be, and perhaps donor machines?

Hey Bob! May I ask- is that a turn table designed specifically for mechanical and/or electronic repairs, or is it a repurposed kitchen item (or "lazy susan")? Serious question btw, not trying to crack a joke 😊

Interesting, thanks!

I've been planning on traveling with my Skyriter for a while now. It fits perfectly into even my smaller backpack so I've carried it to parks and such. Really reliable machine and the action is perfect for this size.

Does the tubing have an adhesive on the inside?

Nice job Bob!!

stunning!

I love this one! Wow! New condition too. A beauty.

Hey there! I have an old Remington Rand adding machine that is not working currently, would you have an advise on how to fix it or do you fix these by chance?! Would love to get it working again.

I inherited my stepfather's Royal 10. I am definitely new at typewriter mechanics. I like to see how the Platinum was trued & resurfaced.

Olympia's had a nice firm touch without jarring like the Triumph-Adlers. It also helps if you had the thick felt pad that they sat on.

At best, I suspect this would probably have been used to try to convert the composer's chicken scratch into something legible for the printer to use to do the layout. Regardless, this sure seems a tedious process.

eBay says that you don't exist...

Hi I've sale my typewriter Smith corona typewriter

How much to buy a new platen for a run of the mill S-C? Is there like a core program?

I love your easy explanations and advice! Please show us more procedures!

A good example of what you don't know wont hurt you. platen diameters must be within specified tolerances for both feed roll contact and typeface impressions of the full character. Unfortunately there will always be those who "know better than the original manufacturers

Thank you, Bob!

Sold.

What color is that Bob?? Looks silver/gold/green???

Hey, you ever figure out the secondary ribbon spool on this???

Just stumbled across this as I was looking for resources on restoring my Model 71, very similar to yours. If you want info on usage, I can probably help out.

Well done!

Great job, Bob, loving the case!

Stunning work Bob! I'm certain Joe was overjoyed that everything came together so beautifully 😊 This story literally reminds me of the acronym TEAM... Together Everyone Achieves More

This actually made me CRY 😭

Great video 👍

I admire people who collect mechanical calculators - They're so utterly useless and unromantic that the people who love them must be saints :D

What’s fun is you can enter all the digits of a number simultaneously, making for very fast addition.

Bro… what harm would be done if they made it a little bigger?

Thanks for showing the turning. We can clearly see the difference in shape and size of the rubber chips between the old (hard) and the new (softer) rubber. Daniel

So glad we now have you and jjshort to save these machines ❤

Oh my goodness! Phenomenal work Bob! 😊

'The answer is a bit of alcohol' yes pour me one too! hoping to do this repair on an Olivetti platen with deep grooves although otherwise in really nice condition. many thanks.

Hello can you give me some advive on where to find a repair manual for this machine pretty please. I have the same model but its jammed up. I love it and would love to get it working. Thank you Pamela

I have a typewriter just like this one except the keys are a little darker. Any how I am missing the rubber feet. Do you happen to have some? I would like to purchase a few.

Your videos are hylarious and very enjoyable. Also informative!

Fantastic. Nice job, Bob. I'm now refurbishing and repairing manuals. The link doesn't work anymore. ~DC Types

A typing a longer passage, ~ 100 words, and showing the result would help me decide to buy it.

The injector is my favorite feature on my SG1. More standards should have adopted them!

Cool :)
