Thanks simple explanation step by step.🎉🎉🎉 Best video

I've seen a few posts about the pins on Reddit from Abel. They look really nice!

The №.5 i got today looked like it would never work again with the platon rubber shredded on one side so cut it down centered it and taped it for a temporary fix and got everything lose then I found out it's in elite

As a photo professor, this is awfully full of numbers and detail that would make my students' eys glaze over. It's very informative and I like how you explain your methodology in detail. When we use bellowed-cameras after a while we intuitively know we get greater magnification with extension. Then we need to do, and I find it simpler for my students to understand, is use a simple bellows extension factor in adding to the base exposure time.

Appreciate it, super helpful!

Fascinating video! Question: do you have any experience with cyanotypes and if so, are cyanotypes or diazo "faster" to expose? I have a lot of experience with cyanotypes even in-camera, but wish they exposed faster. Wondering if diazo would be better for me to try?

I was loosing my mind trying to change the ribbon on my Optima Elite before I watched this video and my troubles were gone. My mistake was that I was putting the ribbon in the middle not close enough to the platen and it was bunching up. Thabk you sir!

Love your channel Joe!

The TV is fun, how much video can you put on it?

Love the TV! Re. the postal strike, I hope it will be soon resolved. Daniel

so insightful, thank you joe

Love the tiny tv!!

You get the best mail!

Very cool! Thanks for the video.

Born under a star, I wanna be on TV, just "like" Joe Van Cleave

That Tiny TV is amazing, and the pins. Thanks for the video!

Oooh, I see you've got some Video-8 Joe clips in that Tiny TV :D

Thank you

Beautiful machine. The type sample is really appealing

Leave it to Van Cleaver!

This one sweet machine! Love the finish work on the paint and how clear the letters are on the page. Thank you Joe for another great review. 😊

I absolutely LOVE the “Van Cleave TV”! I hope that becomes a part of every video!!

Great video Joe! These key tops are my favorite for comfort.

"Infinite Joe" has possessed a TV! We are all doomed. Maybe the blessed finger pointer will save us?

I have 2 of these.

You should do a watch-along or commentary on the California Typewriter film.

A great looking piece.

Love the intro- best channel on yt!!!!!

Hi Joe, What an awesome writers Typewriter, looks like a fairly good workhorse machine. I like the little TV lol that got a good laugh, imagine a review on a Typewriter while that lady does tiny cooking here on KZbin, lol. Check out your messages I left a few and an Update on my sick Galaxie Deluxe... And let TM know I bought a 6 series manual....and a Royal Litton Mercury Manual....yeah picked up a '71.. More in our messages about that one. That little TV is awesome! 👍

Another great video Joe! I noticed the key shape is exactly like the Olivetti Underwood 21 which must be exclusive to all Underwoods for many years. You are right about the 21 being mechanically like the Studio 44 but the key shape was like the Underwoods while the 44 was round.

The typeface is Underwood Stymie, exclusive to Underwood & Olivetti. I have a machine exactly like that one, typeface & all! His name is Tex.

Really appreciated the little tv commercial breaks! 😂😂

I have a '55 Quiet Tab DeLuxe, I've owned it for almost ten years. BEAUTIFUL machines. Not /great/ to have to tear into, mine had mainspring problems and a loose tab rack when I bought it. Took me a while to get those problems sorted. But I wouldn't trade it for a Torpedo 18s though they're clearly better engineered - the QTD is beautiful and characteristic.

For the love of all that is sacred in the typewriter world, please see to it that the fast-action pointer finger receives the care and attention that it deserves!!!

I just wanted 1 epic portable with glass keys. I found it at the thrift last week. Corona Stirling flat top in the rarest green color

I am 80 years of age and remember, when the first desk top computers became affordable, there would be demonstrations on TV of computer v the best Chinese abacus experts ..

Can’t overlook the Olympia SM9. It’s fantastic.

The tree intro is creepy. Well this is one of 3 standard machines I really want. The Smith Corona Eighty-Eight had a kind of Magic Margins...also on my list of the big 3 as I call them. 1958 Olympia SG-1 1947 Black Royal KMM 1958 SCM Eighty-Eight. Ah....one day, hopefully, one day. Thanks for this one, missed it somehow...everytime im sure ive caught up, bam one sneaks in lol. Oh well, something to watch, learn and hit the like to help the channel 👍

Wow, Joe my Gosh man, that's a scary close call. My uncle Jerry was 16 when his Appendix burst, and this was back in 1953 or so, My mother remembers hearing him cry at night he hurt so bad, my Mother's folks were tough farm people in rural Arkansas, and he as well as they all just thought he had a stomach bug, they didn't know, and of course he passed. I've seen a black and white patina colored photo of my Uncle Jerry on a bike wearing slack and a white shirt and tie, towing a small wagon with his favorite dog and best friend in the wagon behind him. He looked like a nice kid. An inflamed or ruptured appendix is not a joke. I'm certainly glad you made it through and your Dad knew..course my Mother's folks my Grandparents, they just didn't know. Not stupid just they weren't aware of anything like that. He was trying to be tough like his father. My mother said when they found out what happened and that it was preventable had they just brought him in, it absolutely very nearly destroyed my Grandmother. She had lost a daughter, my Aunt Joyce, to a winter storm shortly after birth back in the early 1940s, and 13 years later her Son. Tough times, very, hard, and tough times. I'll see them someday. Not to switch gears here, but best on a different positive perhaps note, but how do you send a platen to be resurfaced, lol I am afraid it would get lost. Or knowing my luck it would get lost. I can't imagine loosing my Hermes 3000 platen...it would be neat to see from online order form and packaging for shipping of to JJ's. I've looked at their website and at the time, haven't since I've learned more about Typewriters, but their website look confusing....not as confusing as the Typewriter Database, perhaps if I were an engineer it would make perfect sense. Thumbs up on this one as always, and thanks for reading 👍

I have a Royal safari and while the manual said the carriage lock is on the left side I can't figure out how or where? Do you know anything that could help?

🌟🌟🌟

Easier solution is get those thin plastic sheets with holes that you can pit any sheet size picture etc in. You don't one to make holes in certain documents, sheets, etc.

Thanks for this excellent video. I found one of these typewriters at an auction today. 😊

I just got my much-loved 1967 Brother Activator 800T (Brother JP-1) back from my repairman of choice (Karl Business Machines, Trenton NJ). I love this machine. I bought one after seeing a video of it by Venneburg Typewriter and it just goes and goes and goes, like all Brothers. It's my go-to machine for traveling. Love a good ultraportable.

Just got one of these, inspected it closely with a flashlight and cannot find the serial number to save my life! I give up, where is it?

You could have done the rotate tape and and tilt ring just saying.

Hi Joe, I have one galaxie, it has the "SET" and "LC" on the left side , but I also have a classic 12 which has half space and power space classic 12 also have set/clear key as same as your galaxie, so my question is : what's the difference between galaxie 12 and classic 12 ? they are pretty similar from my viewpoint.

The way the meter is built it looks like its part of the camera

I love the zorki 1e...i use the same camera

I have this exact typewriter and I've been having trouble adjusting the vertical letter alignment. I thought I fixed it when I first got it, but low and behold, several years later, it is out of alignment again. It was just sitting there! I have no idea how it could have become unaligned again. How are you supposed to adjust the height of the capital and lowercase letters? I came to the conclusion that is was a metal form adjustment plate underneath the typeiwrter, but now that doesn't seem to be making a difference.
