IBM Wheelwriter 3 typewriter with top cover removed, exposing the internal print mechanism. Visible components include the main drive motor, stepper motors, gear assemblies, ribbon drive, flex cables, and multicolor wiring harness. The keyboard is visible below with keys including Q, W, E, R, T, Y and function keys. A small red piece of plastic is visible near the keyboard, possibly a dislodged component.

IBM Wheelwriter 3 typewriter with a fresh IBM ribbon cartridge installed in the print carriage. The cartridge is dark gray with a circular daisy wheel port and IBM logo visible. The carriage rail and internal mechanism are partially visible behind the cartridge. The keyboard below shows the full top row of keys including function keys on the left side.

restored* this typewriter . definitely did not break anything in the process 🙂

*the generous usage of the word “restored” implies expertise and skills where there were in-fact none — but it feels good.

30’s vs 40’s Silent

The slight difference fucked me up! 😂

Progress made possible by mineral spirits, lacquer thinner, and evaporust.

View of the front street entrance of Vroman's Bookstore. An elegant purple lettered sign hangs over the door. In the foreground is an artistic and quirky plastic red "chair" in front of a Little Free Library box. On the adjacent wall is the window for Tepito Coffee with a yellow lettered sign. Beside this is a painted wall mural featuring a typewriter painted in red with a page coming out of it that reads: I will forever be in love with you. And that's not fiction.

Time to show off the fully restored Brother Charger 11 in Christmasy red with green felt. All in all, I’m proud of how it turned out.

Fellow-citizens, we can not escape history. … The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation. … We, even we here, hold the power and bear the responsibility.

Tonight I’m working on these two amazing machines! #typewriter #royalptypewriter #royaltypewriter #typewriterrevolution

Just playing around with new formats for videos to share the collection. Does this count as ASMR?

This Olympia SM3 came to me last weekend for about $35. It’s shockingly clean other than some ink stains.

Smith Corona Silent

Quote

Quote

David Lynch's 1984 Dune will always be the film I think of as "Dune." We lost a wild man and a brave weirdo. The quote is from a wonderful moment in a BAFTA interview with David Lean.

Cleaning /fixing typewriters is a hobby of mine. Here’s one I got working for a friends. None of the keys worked and the type bars were all stuck when I got it home. Was so fun brining this Royal back to life

One more piece I’m proud of from this year

#poem #typewriter #poetry #typewriterrevolution

A terrific looking Sperry-Remington with a hip typeface/font. This is a wonderful and very portable typewriter. Professionally reconditioned. See link in bio.
