Just picked up a Triumph Tippa for 14 usd. It works perfectly.

Font and font size is important

Thanks for the video! Worked for my 1967 Squaretop as well.

Your videos are always a pleasure to watch. Glad to see that my Lettera 32 and Hermes 3000 did well on your list 🎉

Hi ☺️ How do you feel about the Smith Corona Skyriter?

I have the exact typewriter but it's very old I think it's over 20 years old since I found it in boxes ? When I insert the paper it won't like wind in

Thanks! Very helpful

Perfect! Thank you so much

There is also a lever below the carriage on the right that allows you to lock the carriage movement left to right, and places the rubber platten directly over the keyboard frame thus preventing damage to the paintwork when folded over. I haven’t found any videos that mentions this feature, which possibly explains why all the corona 3 shown on the web are chipped badly on the left and right of the frame. Interesting repair of the braille typewriter on the repair shop. A pity there wasn’t more detail on how it actually worked.

Sir aapka office kaha hai

Sir kha par hai ye office

This was an awesome video! I just picked up an SM9 and didn't know about some of the features, particularly with the line drawing and tab set mechanisms.

My Wife finds it creepy when I turn to talk to her, while I continue to type. For fun practice once in a while I'll like to close my eyes and type out a sentence or two or three and see how I did. But I am not a sight typist wherein I look at the paper, instead I've always looked at the keys which has helped to remember where they are. I can go fast about 120-130 Wpm to a slow steady pace of 70 or 80 wpm, fun part about a typewriter is the fact you can go slow and think. I enjoy mechanical typewriters and write all my First Drafts. A beautiful pure machine you can dream on without a wireless world popping up. The mechanical typewriter is like a sewing machine that a writer uses to craft a story upon the typed sewn pages the machine has touched. This might sound silly, but I only buy typewriters that speak to me, my collection is small with just 7 machines, but all of them spoke to me. And I'm also a bit of a strange collector in that I also use my machines, but I care very much for each of them and they are well taken care of. I work them all trading them out each daily session although some machines stay a favorite for a while which I'll keep using. For example a good fast machine that disappears as you use it is the brother EP-43 and electric thermal typewriter, another and great workhorse that disappears, 1960's SCM Galaxie Deluxe. Then there are days it's great to crunch down the keys of luxury with my 1959 Hermes 3000, this lady has all that right curves in all the right places. Mine has records of being on the desk of a homicide detective, in 1959 from a repair bill and a note, is drips with inspiration to write a murder mystery on it. Thanks for reading, hope this finds you all very well, and thank you for the video.❤

Sir Facit Type writer je baare mein koi jaankari hai

Thank you for this.

I know you recommend models before 1970. I just found a 1972 in great shape for a good price. Worth it? Can you specify some of the differences? THANKS, this is so helpful and you helped me in your top 10 video to find my way to this Olympia Sm9 in the first place. I'm so excited.

another thing....typewriters do not autocorrect. you have to actually know how to spell and pay more attention to spelling and sentence construction. and for me, the right typewriter just is so motivating to use...the feel, the sound....all makes me want to write! I NEVER get that with my laptop.

Wiser words have not been spoken.

I really dig all your videos and appreciate the work you guys do. I am not very RUclips savvy, however I would like to pose a few requests… Your thoughts on the very beautiful Princess 200 and where to find replacement Platen…

Thank you so much for another informative video. I really did think I was doing the right thing by loading 2 sheets (one as a backing paper) of 70gsm. Thank you again!

How do you clean out the rust? @MrMrsVintageTypewriters

I am having a period of going back to analog, I got tired of so much technology and like to go back to when things were not so complicated. And arrggghh, I am beating my head against the wall now. My dad had at his house my old Olivetti (can't remember the model), from when I was a kid and I did the typewritting certification exams and my parents bought it for me to do homework. He passed about 4 years ago and I cannot recall where the hell was the typewritter. Did we throw it? Maybe he sold it and was not at home, did we store it at our storage box? Damn I need to find out! Anyway if not I'll investigate where to get one with spanish keyboard. Thanks for this list, really narrows down the options and know which ones to look for.

I have an Olympia Reporter (electric), but currently look for a manual typewriter. Hermes 3000 seems like a great option, I'll be on the lookout.

One of the best practical tutorials I have ever seen. Clear description, excellent video... and no stupid background 'music'. 👑

Maravilloso, amigo. Aprendí mucho! ❤

Thank you for this video...

A solution that doesn't ruin it is type a bunch of keys like loosen then up then use a dry q-tip and get any gunk off

Amazing video. Thank you!

Typewriter air 😂

I appreciate the honest description of those typewriters, very helpful in my quest. But are there 1-2 models that you actually recommend?

Excellent

Besides the 2 keyboards layout you mentioned, there are also from what I have discovered, the French AZERTY keyboard, the Russian Keyboard, very detailed thousands of keys Japanese Chinese Korean keyboards, and for me, the Vietnamese AÐERTY keyboard, invented during the colonial era (1930s or so), which is a tire to type for me since I have to type the diacritic symbols of my language first before i type in the letter (in writting I was taught the opposite). Great video🎉

I think we have one of those and would be very interested in corresponding with you to find out more information!

What are your thoughts about elite vs pica typeface ? Thank you

Very helpful tips. Clear and concise. And, your website is terrific. I downloaded and printed the Brother portable instruction manual. Thank you!

Where's the video for top 10 desktop typewriters i saw the other one everyone loves a good portable but desktops a beautiful addition to a collection. Thanks you're typewriter monkey 🐒

thank you for this fantastic video! i needed a refresher on how to use this vintage typewriter. your video was so very helpful :)

So beautiful and sounds lovely ❤

How can I purchase a Hermes typewriter?

Great video! I was gifted one of these cool typewriters last year but recently the tension string ripped in two and now it does not advance. Do you know of any videos that show how to do that? I googled it, and there are a few that show how to do it but not on this model. Any help would be greatly appreciated.thank you!

Thank You ...

This video is incredible! I was looking for a typewriter replacement for my Remington Holiday. I guess anything in this list is going to be leaps and bounds ahead of the Remington Holiday lol...

Need to know how to change the ribbon or even where to get a ribbon???

What a great video. I'm really happy to say I own 9 of your top 10. Your insights are spot on. The only one on that list that I don't own in my collection is the Smith Corona. Before I owned one, I really thought the Hermes 3000 was way overpriced and had a touch of the "emperors new cloths" about it. I picked one up for a reasonable price a few months ago. After a good cleaning and set up I now have to confess it lives up the hype. There are two typewriters that I also own and regularly use that I would add to the list. There are the Erika Mod 12, which is my personal number 2 and the Blue Bird Deluxe which is a "snappy" semi portable. Oh and as much as I love all of my machines if I had to choose one "desert island" machine that would meet all of my needs (comfort, reliability, feel, aesthetics and portability) then I would probably go with my humble powder blue Brother De Luxe. The problem is my teenage daughter seems to have permanently "adopted it" :) Great video. Keep up the good work x

Hi, I have just bought the model T and replaced the ribbon. The text is only marking the top part of the letters. Could you identify the problem.

How practical are these to actually type on? Would it make sense to actually get one to travel with and use?

your videos are great, the SM2, SM3, SM4 comparison video was great at describing the differences between the different models, Im about to buy an Sm4 hunter green for $32 in my country, cursive font

Love this! Keep doing your thing!
