Eagle Paper Fastener review

After cleaning and putting the thing back together, comes the Eagle Paper Welder review. It's a short one, so no chapters in this video. I've added some links below, where you can find a few manuals and some more information. Enjoy!

Voss Model 50 Review

Переглядів 912 місяці тому

The red marbled Voss Model 50. The only type of polymer machine I think looks really awesome. But oh so brittle! This one turned out to be extra special, since it has some features that I haven't seen on any other Voss Model 50, which leads me to believe it's a very early version that still had some kinks in it that were removed in the next iteration. More Voss information, and source of the Wu...

This is such a gorgeous machine! But so fragile! And don't remove the return arm if you don't have to. Ask me how I know... Or watch the end bit of this video. Or skip right to it using the chapters. Used tools / supplies: - Penetrating oil - Either a very long screwdriver or very compact ratchet for removing the screws of the body panel. - 4 mm x 0.4 mm slotted screwdriver for the feet - 5 mm ...

Smith-Corona Standard Review

Переглядів 3933 місяці тому

Finally the review / walk around of this machine. It was really filthy when I got it, and it had some issues after cleaning: a broken "brake" spring at the segment (do not remove the segment cover plate unless you have to, it totally messes up the alignment) and a ribbon vibrator throwing the ribbon way too high. I spent ages resolving that. But it is fixed now. And it even has new real rubber ...

A very pretty machine that presented some minor challenges to take it apart. This took me way more effort than it should have, due to my lack of experience with these machines. But I succeeded in the end. I've also added an epilogue on how to reinstall the platen, because I struggled a bit with that one. Tools: - spring hook and alligator forceps - 0.18" x 0.03" flat head screwriver - 0.18" x 0...

Odhner 7 mechanical calculator

Another calculator! And this one is even more fun than the last. A device that is really made to crank out numbers! This Original Odhner 7 was really dirty when I found it, it didn't work at all. I opened it up, cleaned all gunk out, flushed it with solvents and applied some oil. And now it lives again! A really cool machine, that served past professional number crunchers well. Some interesting...

I had actually planned to do something else, but the typewritten card looked so nice, I decided to use that. I made a couple of different versions (with some digital alteration), and my misses decided the black background with white letters looked like a snow covered pinetree with red decorations, so that's what became this years card! after scanning, it's pretty easy to invert the colors with ...

Hermes Ambassador Review

Переглядів 1,1 тис.Рік тому

After a way too long dissassembly video, I have now made a way too long review video. But this machine has a ton of features I haven't seen on other typewriters. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. Have fun!

Bloody hell, this Hermes Ambassador has so many screws that need to be removed! In the end, you'll be able to access everything, but still. So many screws... If anyone knows how to remove the left platen knob properly, leave it in the comments! Required tools: - penetrating oil - 9 mm wrench (Carriage nuts) - 6 mm wrench (locknuts color selector and dejammer) - 0.8 x 5 mm slotted screwdriver - ...

Something slightly different today: I bought a simple mechanical calculator! Fun little thing. I thought you folks might like to know how it can be used. Don't worry, my next video will be another typewriter video =). And yes, I probably should have used a "100" factor instead of "90" in the first bit of the division example, but that's not in the "fancy" tables =S Link to the Dutch manual for ...

Making Halda Spools

Переглядів 171Рік тому

No Halda spools? A bit annoying, but I managed to make my own. They don't look as fancy as the original metal spools, but they work, and enable me to use this typewriter as intended! I just winged it, so there is a lot of improvement that can be done. Someone suggest that I could use brass sheeting instead of a soda can. The axle for the hinges would probably be better if it were made out of a ...

Halda P disassembly for cleaning

Переглядів 381Рік тому

There are quite a bit of screws that you need to remove to get the Halda P or Halda Portable ready for cleaning. Fortunately, they all have the same head, so you only need one screwdriver if you intend to remove everything I removed in this video. I also struggled a bit with getting the foot off, so in order to make it look like I was able to do it in one go, this video has been chopped up and ...

Halda P Review

Переглядів 625Рік тому

I've heard of Facit TP1's being exquisite typewriters, but I didn't like the look of them. Fortunately I came across it's predecessor: the Halda P. It really has a very light touch! Fun machine, fun typeface and I really dig the chrome and red band. UPDATE: @ukonukko mentioned that the spring might not be to provide additional resistance to the dead key, but might be there to assist the dead ke...

Painting Recessed Legends

A short video where I show you how I bring color back to (recessed) legends. Make sure to clean them first, and get all gunk out! Used materials: - Modelling paint - Pieces of paper towel - White spirit / mineral spirits for additional clean up Alternatively you could use acrylic paint or lacquer sticks.
