I’ve missed your channel, glad to see your content again!

This is the machine with the homemade return lever?

Such a fascinatingly transitional machine--reminds me of the Remington 10, in that it clings to certain 19th-century sensibilities while succumbing to the inevitable frontstrike mechanism. Having seen typing samples in your other videos, it's also interesting to see how you adapt to this, both with the keyboard being dual and not having the usual staggering of the keys (would love to see you try a Molle, with its perfectly orthogonal grid of keys). Thanks for posting!

Test type the remington 8 when?

That's such an ugly typewriter, but well done speed typing.

Oooooh the famous quiet 12 in action.... Its still louder then a keyboard and look its got no tabulator so its a paragon or a left handed quiet 😂 12. Wow its a machine gun

I have that same typewriter with the green keys and grey mottled paint. But it sure doesn't work like it used to. It often skips a key when you're typing and you have to keep backspacing to replace missed letters, very frustrating. Any idea how to fix that?

How stiff are we talking?

It's got to be an elite machine, isn't it? I don't think one can type that fast on a pica Remington.

I was the only boy in my high school typing class in the late 60s here in Texas, and we learned on Royal 440 typewriters before I graduated. I did 122 words per minute on a 15 minute time test without errors on a 440 so it has always had a soft spot in my heart.

i love this sound - been searching for a longer video of pure live typewriting like this for a while to accompany my study sessions! thank you and hoping for more!

Marvelous! The decals on any early Underwood are so fragile and vulnerable, and it's wonderful to see one with so much of the pinstriping still intact (it's also quite difficult to find early Royal 10s with all their pinstriping), as well as the original Wagner label on the back. Aside from being visually pleasing, these little touches added so much dignity to the machine. Looking forward to your in-depth comparison of the mechanicals. Thanks for posting.

Interesting machine and history. I could not see the breaks you mentioned but there is absolutely no question that a precision machinist could reproduce the part as well as the tabulator rack. In addition, they may be able to repair the original piece. If money is the issue maybe a youtuber like Inheritance Machining might help.

Enjoyed the history 👍

I completely understand. I have been in the same situation. So I have backed up to being a "hobbyist"repair person. Giving me the freedom of wrenching on typewriters as I feel . So now I do so when I want to,not have to. Bringing back my love for Typewriters. Enjoying the history and the use of them.

2:08 my jaw dropped, like when I saw someone remove a carriage from an Oliver for the first time. Just splendid engineering

"People say there's no appreciation for these, there's no collectability, that may be so. It's still a typewriter, I appreciate them all. Except for the Olivetti Linea 98." -Dirk Plante

Just picked up a #1 myself last month. Fully functional but needs some new keytops and cleanup. Will be watching!

You're a little flyer lol, fair play to you

how much would one cost in good nick

Seeing the pitting looks like the previous owner ended a lot of sentences

This video was exceptionally helpful! Thank you!

Segment shifting in 1912 didn't expect that

Could you make a video on decal removal and application that would be very helpful I'm restoring my 1934 Royal KH also can't wait to see this when it's done

First! On my Triumph Gabriele 1, I took out the metal and rubber rest, and the screw would not go back in and I don't know why. Any idea?

Oooh the original Wagner escapement! That almost deserves a video in itself.

Congratz on finally having Underwood No.1! 🍀

Congratulations 🎊 🤝🏻

So excited about this project and following videos 😁

Very excited to see the comparison of the mechanicals to a No. 5! It’s great how the No. 1 solidified the essentials of a modern typewriter-decades of blind-writers from Remington, and a variety of designs from other companies ranging from “ehh I guess this kinda works” (and I include the Oliver and Daugherty Visible in that) to outright failures... and then Mr. Wagner put this out and Underwood said “this is how it is, The Machine You Will Eventually Buy” and damn if they weren’t right. About the only thing I think a casual user today would really miss in a No. 1 is the backspace.

Very cool. Look fwd to more. No dispute as to rarity, but when you say 4-5 out there, I assume you are referencing the TWDB? One sees this a lot and it’s introducing a misconception. There are many collectors who do not post any machines to the TWDB. So how many are out there is purely speculation. A 6.3 rarity number from ETC is a better guide.

First! Great to see you back Dr. Typewriter! What are your thoughts on Olivetti typewriters?

Hi there! I have one of these in near-mint condition - same colour as yours in the clip. Like you, I'm impressed by the general build quality. It's just got one small issue - the ribbon colour selector works OK in the black and stencil position but jumps out of the red position unless it's held in place. There's an indent for each colour setting beneath the lever but the selector just jumps out of it. Obviously this is not ideal so I wondered if you have any ideas? Many thanks. Regards. Paul

Seems tiny. Is it comfortable?

The keys on this typewriter are not original to the machine. They look like they were replaced in the early 1950s. I know this because i have the exact same machine. The original keys were black bakelite, which doesnt always keep its shape. In fact, on my machine, some of the keys are visibly misshapen. The green keys are an improvement.

1915, it looks great! lucky you.

Nice

Great. Is the same for Studio 46?

Nice job ❤🌹

I'm thinking about buying a typewriter, the models that I liked and can easily find here in Brazil are the OLIVETTE LETTERA 22 and 35. I need something quieter, could anyone recommend a model that is as quiet as possible? This LETTERA 22 in the video has a very pleasant noise.

Is that a plastic body?

Great Impressive Idol ❤❤❤ Nice To Learn ❤❤

Is that the same as the SM2?

Just about to buy a restored one. What do you use as a backing sheet, btw?

I love these keyboarding stories. I hope there are many of them as there is music on KZbin!💙

I don't think i've ever seen a typewriter that typed in Cursive before.

What is your preferred touch setting? I find Olympia typewriters to abide by their own separate rules when it comes to touch select.
