We used to have little plastic strips with white out behind it that you could manually insert in front of the paper and just overtype the character. It was a little challenging because you'd have to find an unused part of the plastic strip, like the smaller one next to the match strip. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correction_paper
Yeah, I'm watching this video and thinking to myself, "How could a typewriter repair guy not know this?" But then I remembered that youtube creators often say dumb stuff in order to boost engagement via the comments, and now here we are
So how does the roller get inked? Seems like it wouldn't store enough ink for one page. Is there a reservoir that feeds it? Also, how does inking actually work? Does it turn the next letter down to dab on the roller before it strikes, or is it just rolling ink on all the "petals" as they come around?

Quick question. Any idea where I can get replacement ink? I'd like to use mine!
No, been over 30 years since those rollers have been available
If you have the roller, try re-inking with stamp pad ink or paymaster ink
Thanks!
I just got one of these last week because they have rare Hosiden key switches! Such a beautiful typewriter
