I bought one of these recently for my wife to write her novel. We are both new to typewriters. I was wondering if you had experience with the spacebar coming off? It seems like I should be able to just set it on, but I can’t get it to sit right or stay on. Also, how does one disengage the shift key? I pressed it down and I can’y figure out how to get it unshifted 😅 Thank you :)
Hi there, I am a writer looking for a typewriter to write long manuscripts. In this video you mention that there are better options for writers who want a smoother feel for long projects. Is there a typewriter you recommend for this? Thanks
I just purchased this glorious beast less than a week ago, and I’m really enjoying it so far.
Thank you - this was so much fun, and really opened up my typewriter to more dynamic use. I hope you keep making videos you’re excited about!
I just got one of these! It needs some repairs, but I'm so excited to have my first typewriter! Thanks for the great overview video.
Is there a way to change the ribbons inside of those cartridges?!
Not that I know of. We do carry replacement cartridges in our shop at: www.jotandtittletypewriters.com/product/coronomatic-replacement-cartridges/
@@JotTittleVintageTypewriters cool...but do you ship to Canada?
@@painchaud2000 No :(

Sounds like you need a repair person. 😢

Yes. My favorite electric for writing is the late 50s Smith Corona Electric (5TE series).
I’ve thought about electric typewriters but are the parts hard to come by.
Yes. We keep typewriters on hand for their parts.
