My body experienced a most unusual sensation upon viewing the case and then once again upon viewing a magical sparkling blue typewriter. I'm now told that you humans refer to such feelings as "extreme jealousy". Beautiful work!
Another of your customary beautiful rehabs...I have one of these in burgundy crinkle finish, might be the most solid machine I own - if it weren't for the carriage shift, I'd probably use it more often.
Great video, beautiful machine. I just received a 1958 SM4. However, three fulcrum clips/wires have fallen off. Do you have any techniques to reattach?
i use small-gauge piano wire, cut to size & formed outside the machine, then wiggled in there with hemostats & duckbill pliers. they’re not too bad once you get the hang of it :)
@@TypewriterJustice I tried the paper clip reproductions and don't seem to have the technique to get the wire in the holes. The wire may allow for some flexibility to grab both holes. I have two of the original clips and can't get them to do anything but fall in the machine when I try to reconnect the bars. Hemostats may be a better tool than the tweezers I've been using. Separately, any idea how complicated/expensive it might be to replace my Senatorial/Boston typeface with a 10 cpi pica?
@@WaldronPondOutdoors in my opinion SM models aren’t rare or expensive enough to justify a full typebar swap unless it’s on an emotionally/historically significant machine. It’s not particularly difficult, just time consuming & tedious. I like Senatorial, personally - maybe send it my way! Wanna trade?

Absolutely gorgeous! I wondered what the wood looked like under the grungy vinyl. The case looks amazing...

you can also use wire from medium/small paperclips 👍
