Hi Kitty. Just saw this video, and it was very helpful. I am working on an old Smith Corona Corsair, and was curious about the spools. Great little machines! Hope you're still using yours. Cheers!

Yes I am using it, I also got this cool medieval letter wax with a Game-of-Thrones theme, and I love closing my letters with it, hehe! Glad it helped you, make sure you get the refills, they worked nicely!

Hi Kitty, just wanted to tell you that the so called big space bar could be a Tabulator. You use it for columns. With "set" you set the tab (e.g. at 10, 20 or 30) - and when you hit the return Lever and press the Tabulator bar it should jump to 10, then 20, then 30. With "clear" (right) you erase the marks.

homemoviecorner I haven't tried it yet but I will, thank you for that, I still don't know everything about my typewriter lol. :)

[@homemoviecorner]

Kitty xoxo Good luck with that. I learned on the typewriter, changed to Computer - and now I'm back at the typewriter again. :-D

homemoviecorner that's awesome, but sometimes we need computers :P lol im on a laptop :D

[@homemoviecorner]

Kitty xoxo Yes, of course. I also use a Computer - but I realized that with a typewriter I can be more effective. After I wrote the text I type it to the Computer. It sounds awful and complicated, but for a 10.000-signs-article you have to go through the text again and again - so it doesn't matter that much. Writing on a Computer I always have to check links and watch Trailer and Music Clips (as I write for a News agency), so I really got distracted by the Internet. With a typewriter it's just you and the text. :-D

homemoviecorner oh cool! that's great :) well I hope this was somewhat helpful, I just didn't think many people would still sell the ink for it but im glad they do. :D

I don't think that Reviving is the correct word for this tutorial. I think that maybe you mean replacing but Reviving would mean you are re-inking the ribbon. you've bought new spools with ribbon that has ink already, whereas reviving is indicative of the same spools being used. sorry to sound like a mouthy auto-correcter but the miscatergorization had me watch an eleven minute video for no reason.

[@Kittyxoxo]

well sorry but english is not my first language >_> i just name a title and move on... lol

[@molliebf4959]

this literally took forever. edit

[@Kittyxoxo]

doesn't take long to change but as a Etsy review, i gave credit to the guys so people know who to look for next time they need ink :)
