Yes I know I misspelled ‘conclusion’ I can’t do much about it now I made this back in 2012 or 2013 for senior year of high school. I won the best documentary category at my school that year. the original files are long gone now.

Robert Montgomery had passed away last year. I would have loved to have met him.

I love them…been typing since the age of 16. Learned in high school typing classes. That was back in 1966. Still type today and own one selective electric bought new in the 80’s and 2 Royal portables, 1 Royal KMM, 1 - 1953 Smith Corona Super, 1 - 1955 Smith Corona Sterling and 1 - 1965 Smith Corona Sterling and last but not least a 1959 Olympia SM4 in Hunter Green. Beautiful…total of eight. I’m 72 and still love typing.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this! The editing is so captivating and well done, the rock and roll music and the old dude talking was hilarious for some reason lol. I can tell you went above and beyond for a school project that might not have required it, so cool.

Love this! I interviewed Montgomery a couple years back for a newspaper. One of my favorites.

The footage of Robert Montgomery and his repair shop is priceless. Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us. I'm not sure if you'll see this comment so long after you posted this video, but I would be curious to know if you went on to work in filmmaking, or something else on the creative side of things.

*Manual typewriters(not portable, there are electric ones which are portable as well, like that Smith Corona electric I saw at the Flea Market in my area, along with massive office typewriters which weighed a lot and a courtroom stenograph machine.)

I really hope that Montgomery gentleman is still alive and well. I wish he was my grandad. :'(

Great going, I might link this from my web page, Nice job ! ! Only thing I didn't like about the typewriter shop was all the cans of WD-40 I kept seeing . . . . .
@johntapp14114 жыл бұрын
Ah yes, the dreaded WD 40. Gum and gunk in a spray can. The Cheez Whiz of lubes. You might as well spray some Cheez Whiz into the typewriter.
