@benjitzu6786 Well done! Although your dates are off on three machines, I fear. The Smith-Corona Skyriter (first machine) is indeed a 1950. The one you have listed as a Skyriter (47:20) is actually a Silent-Super. The Olivetti Lettera 32 is a 1952. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it!

Which one is the most satisfying to type with and why?
@TheWriteStuffPro-DamonDiMarco Жыл бұрын
This is not at all meant to sound glib, Irene. But the one I’m working with in the moment, the one that allows me to get the ideas out in real time, the one that responds to my call faithfully and asks for more…that’s the one that’s most satisfying to type on. And that’s basically all of them.

Per quale motivo si introducono due fogli nel rullo della macchina per scrivere?
@TheWriteStuffPro-DamonDiMarco Жыл бұрын
Hello, Guerino. Great question. The first sheet is to type on. The second sheet bears the force of the type hammers and protects both them and the platen while raising the ink stamp. I recommend always rolling two sheets through into your typewriter. Hope this helps and thanks so much for watching.

Out of the 5 how many have new platens or heat shrink platens. ?? Nice video 👍

Good question, Doug. Let me see. The Hermes 3000 I bought a year and a half ago with a platen that was a year old, so that’s still pretty new. The Skyriter’s platen I changed myself about a year ago. Did a two-part video on that, you can find it on the channel. The Silent-Super’s got an older but serviceable platen-got it as a gift in 2017. The Corona Four’s platen I replaced back in 2020 I think it was, did a video on that one too. The Lettera 32’s probably got the flattest platen of the five but it still works well, it’s an awesome machine. None of these are shrink platens. Hope this helps you.
