Sarah, great job this year in all that you’ve accomplished! I have 30-ish machines, my favorite from this past year being the Olivetti Studio 44 with the broken CR lever, I got for free.

[@TypewriterChicago]

I very much appreciate the work you put into your videos. Amazing production quality, and honestly a big inspiration for trying to make my content somewhat decent. Looking forward to more quality content :) thanks for helping keep typewriters alive (and by extension, me employed.)

[@douglasjackson9058]

I loved the zipper replacement video 🙌 it came out so very nice. This is a guess...but think I'm in the 80 range of fully working and refurbished machines. A dozen are in the 4 sale shelfs, and a dozen on the repair shelves. So adding all together we're looking at maybe 100...good Golly 😳

[@saulysw]

I have 44 machines, with 4 "for sale" (additional!). I'm trying NOT to get more, but I got given an Olivetti Studio 46 and just could not resist a cheap Underwood 4 bank portable. My best tip : DO NOT open facebook marketplace. On saying that, if a whole typewriter is as cheap as a paperback or a couple of hamburgers, why not buy one and enjoy it? Like you, I love the SC 5 series, and also this year I have been getting into the Facit TP1 and TP2 machines. If you ever see one of those, I would recommend giving it a go. So many great machines to explore!

[@averagebardenjoyer]

I got my first typewriter on December 23rd last year. Took a little database searching with a friend to figure it out but it’s an Olympia SM8 from 1971. Still have to do some more cleaning on the internals but it’s an incredible machine. The lady I bought it from said it was her mother’s for a long time but that she hadn’t used it in years so it feels nice to give the machine a new lease on life.

[@LANCSKID]

Well, Sarah, I never in my wildest dreams ever thought that I would end up with more typewriters than you! 31 to date, collected over a period of 30 months. Best wishes for 2023. 🧔

[@hitbyabus4615]

Fight to the death

[@TypewriterChicago]

Oh yeah? I've got.......5.... :(

[@ygstuff4898]

Wishing you success in the new place, new job, and [most likely] new typewriters. Thanks so much for the great reviews, advice, and smiles. And wishes for a happy 2023!

[@southside_lullaby]

I only started this year and I've already given 1 (Coronet 12--Bettie) away. I currently have 7 in my room but 2 are not mine. I didn't expect to fall in love with a white Underwood 378 (Snow) but I did. An Underwood Portable 4 bank (Madrigal) was my first love. My clear Swintec prison typewriter (So Icy) feels like the only electric/electronic I will ever need. I also have a reliable Remington quiet-riter (Dank the Tank) who never lets me down, a 40s LC Smith super speed (Monty) who works surprisingly well and i journal on. A Remington Silent I adjusted and am giving to my aunt and my grandfather's corona flat top like u showed in this video im currently looking at ♡♡♡

[@bjray23]

Just found your channel and now I'm subscribed! Happy 2023!

[@Kwstr42]

i have 13 currently, and a Music writer is on my list as well as one of those corona flat tops like you have. i am going to get myself a nice display cabinate for my black and chrome models and one of thpse would look amazing in it. and my holy grail is to get a commodore typewriter with the C logo like their later computers and calculators have as that is the link i need to tie the typewriters to my retro computer collection

[@happiests.a.h.d3901]

Just bought my first! 1947 Smith-Corona Clipper. Definitely planning on it not being my last.

[@susiekuni]

I’ve got 3 so far and trying to be mindful of acquiring more. My oldest is my grandfathers Underwood No 5 which I had refurbished by Mary at MC&T Electronics, Inc in Atlanta area

[@DanDFine]

Hi Sarah, great update! We currently have 17 typewriters (which is the number you had when I first discovered your channel :) Our oldest is a 1938 Underwood Leader and our newest is a 1980 Brother 100 Correction typewriter. So we have 4 Underwoods, 3 Royals, 3 Smith-Coronas, 2 Remingtons, 2 Olympias, 2 Omega II's and 1 Brother.

[@winfried3208]

Amasing video, just what I hoped you would post! For now, I have 7 typewriters, but I am expecting 3 more from people who are looking to get rid of theirs. The problem with storage is definatelly starting to get bigger and bigger, but I'm good for now. Wishing you a happy new year and even more success on youtube in 2023!

[@toxicbambi6208]

I started collecting in November and I now I have three typewriters lol I took your advice, turns out people really will just give you typewriters if everyone knows you like them lol.

[@JillR805]

I just stared collecting in 2020. I have 12 including and LC Smith and Royal from the 1930s that were my grandfathers. My fav right now is a smith-corona 5te in alpine blue with script typeface. And I just got a Olivetti ms 25 plus for $24 at a thrift store and an alpine blue smith corona 5te and a sea foam green 5te from fb marketplace. I hope to have a coral/pink 5te in the future if I can fine one!

[@michaelfrisbie7247]

I'm up to three typewriters. I've had as many as five, but I like to cycle through and only keep my favorites. I also have less since I am willing to spend a bit more on mine.

[@thereshewoz]

Thank you for the fun update, Sarah! You've been so inspirational to me as I started my own typewriter adventure this year. I have 7 in my collection currently (3 Olympia, 3 Smith-Corona, 1 Royal). Five work beautifully, one needs a good clean, and the Royal needs lots of love and attention (one day!). I hope 2023 is the year I learn how to properly clean and fix some machines. 😃

[@hitbyabus4615]

I am both surprised but not surprised that you don’t have a folding corona

[@JustMyTypewriter]

Haven't found one in my price range that I like

[@notmychelle]

I have: 13 typewriters that I rotate using; 3 working that I want to sell; 2 that need work but should be okay; and 2 parts machines. So to anyone walking into the house counting them, 20. Best deal was a script Olympia Monica for $75 (good price for this area!)

[@zeltarstormrun]

Let's see two fully working typewriters a 1946 Smith Corona Silent and A 1938 Remington Deluxe Noiseless. One 1938 Royal KMM with a carriage that stick halfway through it's travel while typing but all the keys work. One none working Remington Noiseless early thirties I think. It has round black keys instead of glass ones. Then there is a Royal Heritage early 60s, little dirty but everything works. But it's missing a shift key, I would like to replace that missing key if I can find one. A 1990 electric Brothers GX 6750, the nosiest typewriter in the collection and a Cassette Electric 850 that was given to me. So like seven all collected this year. I seemed to be drawn to the earlier models. I like the looks of the glass keys!

[@Spread_Hope_Like_Fire]

Your collection is awesome, Sarah! I started my collection in October and just picked up my third yesterday (for $8 at a thrift store!) I have a Royal Safari, Canon Typestar 5, and now the Smith Corona SL600🥰 I'm totally addicted. If I could find that Barbie typewriter you have I would be sooooo happy, but I have yet to find one. Cheers from Alaska😊

[@JustMyTypewriter]

Congrats on your collection so far!

[@eddieslittlestack7919]

I really enjoy your video editing. I just got my 2nd machine this Jan, it’s a royal portable!

[@JustMyTypewriter]

Congrats on your collection!

[@lsvemir27]

Happy NewYear 2023 and I have just my type. :-) 3 pcs. just :-) enough for now but .... who knows UNIS, Maritsa and Invicta Olivetti. Maritsa is my type. from school time :-) Cheers S. !!!

[@claywebster7401]

I’m up to 36 typewriters. But 6 are non-functional. (But sent 2 to Raymond’s in Colorado to be repaired). Currently I gravitate to my Smith Corona Coronet Automatic 12 to type on. But I’m partial to the 3 5 series Smith coronas that I have. (Sterling, Silent, and Silent-Super).

[@vincentaurelius2390]

Great year-end video! I think the Consul is my favorite of your collection, also like your Royal 10 a lot. Maybe add a 1930s Remington Portable, they came in great two-tone color combinations and are easy to work on. I think I peaked at 92 machines and currently have around 85.

[@benloud8740]

I have no idea why the algorithm recommended me this but Im not complaining

[@FrankRomerophoto]

I bet you want an Alpine Blue Series 5! I have two, and they are so beautiful.

[@JustMyTypewriter]

I do indeed

[@jamesthoma6532]

I had one typewriter in August. Now I have 7. Olympia SM3, favorite. I have a Royal, an Underwood, a Sears, 2 Smith Coronas, and a Sears children’s typewriter. Wish list: Lettera 22 or 32, your Adler, or the Tippa, an Erika and Hermes Baby. I look forward to your content every week!

[@Unnamed2076]

Thank you for your video’s, they are very informative and it’s made me more confident in buying my first typewriter. I am currently in the process of buying a 1950’s Rheinmetall typewriter, my dad had a chuckle because that very company now produces millitary equipment. If you, or anybody else, have any good tips i could really use some, I’ve binge watched your video’s for a couple weeks now so I vaguely know the cleaning process and the different bits. But not to worry, I will be extra careful with this peice of equipment, and I have some experience with antiques, such as my grandfathers 1920’s telephone, or my pocketwatches.

[@Unnamed2076]

Ps, I think I will name my typewriter Rowan, after my favorite childhood actor, Rowan Atkinson.

[@JustMyTypewriter]

@@Unnamed2076 Congrats on your new find! For advice specific to your machine, I suggest you join the Antique Typewriter Collector's Facebook group. That way you can crowd source cleaning and repair tips from a much broader audience!

[@wonderwomanguy]

Two machines (personally); I really don't want to collect, I just want to fix them for people or find them new homes. I'd like to find one that is perfect for me though.

[@TechCoven]

I'm still on the lookout for my first one. Typewriters under $100CAD are rare in my area (womp womp) and most go for $150-250 even if they don't work properly. I know when I eventually come across "the one" - it will be love at first sight AND within my budget.

[@yyctypewriter]

I uhh, exceeded 200 this year. It may have been before 2022 but I stopped counting so as to avoid having to confront that particular reality. I too am a completionist. 😂

[@synthnerd4539]

Also about 30... I want 2023 to be the year of rationalising the collection into focussing on ones I want to use, ones I like having, and ones to move on. I've got a dozen Empires (the UK-made Hermes clones) and although hardly any of them work properly, I like the aesthetic, and I want to learn how to fix them. That's my 'collecting for the sake of it' pile. I've got some Brothers that I think can go, I'm just not a fan. I'll be keeping some Olivettis (Lettera 22/32/35) but not others - and maybe some of the Olympias can go. I'd love to try a flat top, at least one of those curvy Smith Coronas, and if I had the space I'd love a Selectric but none of these are common or cheap over here (UK) so I might have to pass. I'd also like an Imperial Good Companion with glass & metal keys, and those crop up regularly here, it's just a matter of having the cash and justifying the spend. I've never tried a Royal or Remington either, so they're also on the list! Sigh. Happy 2023 and all that 😆 That box is a Barbie, isn't it...

[@Colz_]

Hello Sarah I have been watching your videos for quite a while now and have wanted a typewriter for a few years. Today I finally went to my local Goodwill and Found A Smith Corona manual typewriter. I was worried about it at first because all of the keys were seized and the carriage string was broken. My dad said it was a lost cause but I had hope. So I forced him to help me fix it and I did. $25 well spent. Just thought I'd let you know.

[@JustMyTypewriter]

Congrats!

[@herothebard]

My 2023 goal is to write exclusively on my typewriter (and notebooks if I am out)

[@annemadison7258]

Your collection is absolutely amazing. I have only recently started my typewriter collection. Do you have any advice for restoring a Remmington portable typewriter?

[@JustMyTypewriter]

There are some tricky things to taking off paneling or removing the platen that I've found- I highly recommend checking out youtube tutorials as you go! Typewriter Justice did some videos working on a similar model to the one I have, and they were invaluable as I was working trying to learn how it worked

[@annemadison7258]

@@JustMyTypewriter Thank you for the advice

[@Lexig76]

I found a 1947 Silent Smith-Corona in perfect condition WITH a case today, but it was way out of my budget so I had to turn it down 😭💔💔

[@johnlennon1049]

I wish you much success and I know you will do well in life and thank you for everything. I love my typewriters and because of you, I have picked up many that you have shown. Yes, I myself love the Smith Corona 5 Series. They really type well. I know you won't sell if you have to ship but I would love to buy something from you. Keep doing what you do! Happy New Year!

[@CcLady1975]

How many did I gain this year? All of them... lol. I just found this hobby about a month ago and now have 6 in my writing room and 1 more on the way (a special one - it was my grandmothers)... wait do you count an Alpha Writes? If so.. make that 7 with 1 on the way :D.

nightmare daydream, eh? not sure of your tastes in tunage but there's a gnarly trio called the velveteers whose last album is entitled "nightmare daydream." the title song is a serious earworm.

[@JustMyTypewriter]

very cool- I'll have to give it a listen

[@hitbyabus4615]

Would you know where to buy a part machine? I tried a lot of websites but they are either out of my price range, or never responding

[@JustMyTypewriter]

Facebook marketplace is a good option if you can find one locally. Shopgoodwill has gotten more expensive over the last year, but there's usually some pretty beat up machines there. If you just need parts, there is a facebook group called Antique Typewriter Maintenance Group and lots of people buy, trade, and sell just parts there that match your specific machine- that way you don't have to go buy a whole parts machine
