Amazing! Neately filmed with Satie's music. One remark: Having a wide carriage I'd do every typing in landscape format. Please more! And one question: If you'd type less fast do you think the horizontal alignment might improve or is what we see inherent to the age and springs etc?
Horizontal movement can only be improved by re soldering the type slugs. The type should technically be adjustable, but the safest option is often the most time consuming. This was more of a preservation project so it's largely original save for a new mainspring and all new rubber.
Imma keep an eye on this channel since the insider video. If I may give a recommendation, if possible, please do more restoration videos. 1 full restoration in 1 video. I think this might blow up your channel! Great video and love from Mauritius Island!
I can't get over how cool this is....
They're pretty cool
SO cool, and a real historical artefact...and here we are just typing away on it in 2023!

While I usually dislike wide carriage designs, it being a Williams makes up for it. Thank you for the video ^^
Typewriters are always better when they work. Thanks for this.
I live by this
That is so unbelievably awesome! Admittedly, I'm quite jealous!
Cinematic beauty 😍
Thanks!!
Wow I'm Amazed!
Were you able to fix that typebar that kept getting stuck?
Yep
What a stunner...
