Underwood Quiet Tab de luxe

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

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

Thanks, Ted; I was hoping you’d know what it is. I especially like the little foot on the end of the “2”.

Beautiful machine. The type sample is really appealing

[@stanfordwhite]

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

[@Joe_VanCleave]

Yes, it will!

[@VirtualGuth]

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!!!

[@Joe_VanCleave]

It will be going to the emergency ward soon!

A great looking piece.

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. 😊

[@jeffbeyea8910]

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

[@Joe_VanCleave]

Thank you!

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.

Really appreciated the little tv commercial breaks! 😂😂

Thank you!

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.

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! 👍

[@dilley_esq]

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

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

[@Joe_VanCleave]

Amen!

[@douglasjackson9058]

I have 2 of these.

[@someonespadre]

Leave it to Van Cleaver!

[@someonespadre]

According to Bishop Munk’s entry under Underwood De Luxe in the gallery the elite typeface is called Stymie.

[@Joe_VanCleave]

@@someonespadre Thank you!

[@someonespadre]

Possibly the official name is slab-serif
