The free website boasts a membership of over 200 members, offering a membership directory, galleries, forums, and more. Members meet virtually in a weekly livestream: Typewriter Club LIVE on the first Sunday of the month at 9 am Pacific, and Hangin' with the Poor Typist for the remaining Sundays of the month at 9 am Pacific.
Type Pals at the 9th Phoenix Type-In #typewriters #typewriter
The 9th Phoenix Type-In was planned and executed by first timer, Brian Goode… and he knocked it out of the park! Held at a perfect venue, First Draft Book Bar, the room filled quickly with people from near and far, including Bob Marshall of @typewritermuse from Riverside, California; Type Pal Susan Kuver and husband Ron Kelsey from Texas; Joe Van Cleave @Joe_VanCleave from Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Arizona’s own Ted Munk @tmunk. Other dignitaries included Bill Wahl of Mesa Typewriter Exchange in Arizona, and Darwin Raymond of Raymond’s Office Machines & Supplies in Colorado. A portion of the event was livestreamed by Gregory the Poor Typist, and segments from that are included here. Also pictured is Gregory Short’s wife, Christina, shaking hands with Koa, Brian Goode’s dog.

Looks like fun!
hello! Did you get to the end of the ribbon? Have you tried rewinding the ribbon? gretings!
Rewinding would be very difficult. I think you would have to crack open the case. It theoretically could work with the multi-strike ribbon, but not the correctable one.
Gonna need to check out the Lochby for my new lamy pen ❤ thanks for the video!
Waiting for my '49 Royal QDL to come in the mail, then I will be signing up.
Let me know if you have any questions about the site!
Pretty cool!
You should also be able to write upside down with a good bent nib!
I’ll have to try that! My collection has grown considerably since this video, so it’s been a while since I used this one. Thanks for watching!
how do i thread the ribbon in?? im struggling rn
Hopefully you have found another video that shows you how. It’s virtually impossible to describe in writing. The gist is that you want the center of the ribbon closest to the paper. So experiment weaving the ribbon through so that the middle of the ribbon is next to the paper.
I guess "Pilot FriXion Ball 3 Metal 3 Color Gel Multi Pen" would work better for you nowadays!
I did end up getting one. Thanks!
Can you please name the ink in Twsbi Go pen?
Sorry for the delay! I think it may have been Krishna Kanikonna. Less likely but possible would be Krishna Sunburst. I hope this is still useful for you! All my fountain pen content is now over at Pensane here on UA-cam.
Odd. I just got a denik notebook and it competes with my clairefontaine. 0 feathering, 0 bleed through (even with my vintage pens that are gushers), No ghosting (which i havent found in any other paper besides ARC), and good sheening
Maybe I should give them another shot. It’s been a long time. Are you light handed when you write? I can be heavy handed, though fountain pens are helping with that. Thanks for watching!
I have recently received this typewriter from my sister-in-law. My typewriter has a French keyboard. My return arm doesn't swing back on it's own, I have to move it out of the way to type. It's hard to remember to use the letter l for the number 1!
Guessing it’s missing the spring? I no longer have this typewriter.
Show how to refill it!
@1:33:40 First draft is the BEST DRAFT! That is awesome
@1:32:27 Finding type pals in everyday life is hard in Taiwan, too; however, life is amazing and unpredictable, I did found a few scatter around this eastern island. They are just not as active online as we are.
@1:26:11 I once tried some black silicon to fill the platen crack, then wrap it with heat shrink, not perfect but works ok.
Is this Luke?
It's a telegraph westrr union mill.
Thanks for bringing this so we can all enjoy it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, Gregory!
Thank you so much! It was a lot of fun, but I made sure to stop filming at some point, so I could just enjoy chatting and typing. It’s too bad all type-ins don’t have two UA-camrs in attendance. I know a lot of people enjoyed our videos.
Great job Brian &koa!
Totally agree!
Nice turn out! Thanks for sharing 👍
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.
What an excellent time we had! Thanks for dropping by and making it even better! (:
Being my first large-scale Type-In, it was a bit overwhelming! So many typewriters. But boy oh boy, the sound was glorious. You, Brian, and Joe made me feel so welcome. Next, I’d love to have a meetup at Mesa Typewriter Exchange. Bill was so easy to talk to. Seems like a cool guy.
Very cool
Thank you!
Wish I was there with you all! One day! 😍
That would be amazing! Would love to meet you in person.
What a nice video, great to see some familiar faces like Ted, Brian, Joe, Bob & more!, thnx to all, we keep the typewriter alive!
I couldn’t believe how nervous I was in the beginning! Joe and Ted in one room. I was a total fan boy, but they made me feel at ease. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Nice! I was looking for this. Thanks for the video!
You’re welcome! I hope to meet you in person someday.
Lol, I'm in the 'opening credits'. Nice!, nice vid
Thank you so much! I wish you were there.
Thank you for showing us at home today!
You’re welcome! It would have been nice to meet you.
Thanks Gregory !
You’re welcome! It would be wonderful to meet you someday.
Nice
Thank you so much! It would be wonderful to have you on. We’re now on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month, 10 am-1 pm Pacific.
Good to see at least one of the ole green IBMs working … I’ve ended up with two and both aren’t working. They were wonderful when they did work :-(
That’s always my fear. I hear Selectrics are especially prone to damage in shipping.
Good to see you guys again - your episodes haven’t come up in my feed for ages.
I took a much needed month off. We’re now on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month. Thank you for watching!
The script design is lovely. The q is very nice. Well done you. Amazing catch!
Thank you so much!
Great review. Thank you for posting.
You could use a paper clip instead of a pen. A good nice, big, strong paper clip would probably be even quicker than using your pen.
William at 3:11:51 rocks.
Yes, he’s like Max Headroom.
The Adler Tippa that Robert shows revolved my impression on plastic shell machine.
Thank you for watching!
I just got a Sperry Rand Envoy 3 it offers a good typing experience and a nice typeface. I just created a profile on your club. Is the club still alive?
The club, Type Pals, is alive and well! Thank you so much for joining. Have you had a chance to check out the directory, forums, and galleries? Let me know if you have any questions.
I have an Olivetti lettera 82 yellow that has the same font type. So beautiful the cursive letter! Hugs from São Paulo, Brazil.
Thank you so much. I’m not familiar with that particular typewriter.
A little late to the party with Rocketbook, and this is a great hack. Yes, very much like the Filofax folder. I wasn't happy with having to make a ring binder or use a ring folder either. I just did this with my RB Everyday. It would be great if RB used a mushroom puncher instead of a hole puncher, and then they could sell paper bundles for us to mix and match. Cheers
I totally agree. It almost seems like they want to keep them sort of proprietary, forcing people to get multiple styles of complete notebooks. Yet people keep coming up with hacks to make them work that way they want. Thanks for the comment!
What did Sarah compared the Olympia Spelndid with? Was it with the SM? 1:03:47
I think the other one she mentioned was the SF? I could be wrong, as her audio kept cutting out. But the Splendids and SF are very similar. Sorry I just now saw this comment! I hope you are well.
What makes it hum when it's plugged in?????????
The motor and/or belt very often make a humming sound. If the belt is warped, it will also make sort of a whumping sound. Thanks for watching!
Oh my goodness! Ovi is so inspiring!!
He really is! So glad to have him among us.
Hi Gregory! I want to clarify, when I talked about the goat on my T-shirt, that it was a goat of the herd at Hildene, the summer home of Robert and Mary Lincoln in Manchester Vermont. Robert was the only surviving child of Abraham Lincoln and and Mary Todd. Daniel
Oh, cool! Thanks for the clarification. Yep, love me some goats.
I could get one for $40 but they are so large.
Yes, the more modern standard-size typewriters aren’t as valuable as many of the others. Thanks for watching!
That's so funny!
I know, right? I couldn’t believe it.
Hi! Thank you for this wonderful content. Which typewriter would you think is one of the least noisy that you've seen so far. Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer my question
The quietest typewriters are actually thermal typewriters, like the Canon Typestars or Brother EP series, but those are electronic. My Smith-Corona Sterlings are some of the quietest manual typewriters in my collection. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching.
The color reminds me of Diamine Eclipse
Oh, I’ll have to check that out! By the way, my fountain pen content is now being posted over at @pensane. Thanks for watching!
