One final observation: I think, Sarah, that at the heart of it, you like to share, explain and enlighten. In other words, teach. It’s just who you are. And like Leonard Bernstein, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Julia Child, you will always be teaching. Today it’s typewriters on UA-cam and, of course, your new career in academia, but make no mistake, at the end of the day, you will always be a teacher. What a wonderful life to look forward to, both for you and those lucky enough to know you!
I hit the "like" button on all your videos and enjoy them tremendously because I know you put a lot of yourself into every single one of them. Please ignore the trolls as much as possible and know that you have a supportive community of over seven thousand subscribers who value your contribution to our shared hobby. Also, did you ever find the answer to your question about the Super vs. Silent Super? If not, it's a Canadian thing. Smith-Corona manufactured the 5 series also in Canada, but did not market the top end version as the Silent-Super, as it was known in the US, in Canada but as the Super. They are identical machines, but I think there might be the slightest bit of difference in the soundproofing felt coverage under the ribbon cover. From what I've seen, there is slightly more felt liner in the Silent-Super than under the hood of the Super.
Thank you for all that you do! I am 74 years old, and IMHO, beautiful ladies do not need to wear makeup. I myself have been in a few (very few) stage productions in my lifetime, and I have never liked having to wear makeup when I was on stage. I always enjoy your videos concerning typewriters, as I also have that addiction, along with shopping antique shops, thrift stores, estate sales, flea markets, and garage sales. Going along with your on your antique & thrift shop expeditions here on you tube is always a joy for me, and it is almost as good as if I were with you in person. My wife of 53 years puts up with my addictions, but I have come to this point in my life, and I have realized that its time to start letting go of some of my 'collections'.
Congratulations on the five year anniversary! I only got into typewriters this year and your videos have been invaluable and entertaining. Thanks for sharing your hobby with us!
Aww, nice kitty! :D ok, the 5-Series Super is the precursor to the Silent Super - it introduced the "keyset tab" feature, and only ran in the US for a couple years before it was upgraded to the "Silent Super" by adding the extra soundproofing from the "Silent" model.The "Super" and "Silent Super" share the same serial prefix "5T" and run in the same series. It is notable that the "Super" model ran much longer in Canadian manufacture, and so you'll find them more often up north - and often in unique color schemes like black with grey keys. - - I'll also say it's good to think of your channel as building holistic long-term content rather than worry about episodic popularity. Prolly much better on your psyche and certainly fosters better content that helps more people. I can say this from the perspective of someone that just builds long-term content that is meant to be taken as a sort of library of useful information. Not a lot of adrenaline spikes, but you know that what you've done helps lots of people every day. Keep up the excellent work on whatever schedule suits you best (:
I agree that your channel is a total resource and also think you shouldn’t feel too pushed by the analytics. As someone who recently got into collecting typewriters, your channel was the first place I landed for info, and it continues to be a great resource for me. I also enjoy your reviews, opinions and antique excursions. I’m jealous of the deals you snag in your area. Anyways, feel free to make content at your own pace. The audience is always there. Cheers!
I had always been interested in typewriters, but seeing Wednesday Addams write her book on a typewriter in the Wednesday series sold me. I started my research and came across your channel which helped me learn SO much, then about a week after subscribing I found my first typewriter. Now a year later, I have 9 typewriters in my personal collection, 13 overall. I’ve been watching your channel since then, both new and old videos. I appreciate your channel and especially this video ❤️
When I got interested in typewriter and collecting a couple years ago, yours is one of the first channels I found, and I look forward to your videos whenever you make them. I also very much enjoy your Thrifting videos and anything else you do on your channel. your channel is amazing as are you! Thanks for doing what you’re doing. And welcome to the community of cat mamas!❤
Maybe on your trip to Illinois stop by Typewriter Chicago and shoot a video with Lucas. Would also be great to see you make an appearance on TypePals, “Typewriter Club Live”. Looking forward to another year of great videos!
I hope that everything is going well for you. I personally don't always watch the newest videos you post just because of time, interest and attention span. I do however still enjoy your content and hope that you keep on making videos. Even just shorter videos, and I always encourage people to prioritize their mental health.
What others have said! You’re a delight, and sometimes the highlight of my weekend is the 15 minutes on Saturday mornings spent quietly watching That Typewriter Girl. Of course, there’s no need for you to share what’s happening “behind the scenes” with us; I feel that’s more part of your personal, private world, but hey, it’s so nice that you invite us in, and I imagine it’s rather therapeutic for you, and, well, for us, too. So yes, Sarah, I think you have good instincts, and I hope you continue to follow them. We enjoy your down-to-earthiness and your warm, gentle humor. And though you may think everything is always madly out of control, please know that there’s an underlying, essential quietness about you and your space which we find quite appealing. Many a Saturday morning, before I even get up, I find myself thinking “let’s visit Sarah”. (And hey, does anyone know where their journey will take them? I don’t think so. I wouldn’t be surprised if, ten years from now, I’m watching you in “More Coffee?,” “The Beauty of Toasters,” or “Just My Air Compressor”.) 😉
You do a great job creating content that's informative and entertaining. I think I found your channel long ago when I was looking for a how-to-clean video, and I subscribed for everything else! Thanks for sharing a behind the scenes that shows what goes into the sausage... Very interesting!
I always look forward to your content. I don't get frustrated if it takes a little longer for a video to come out. I just assume that you're busy. I'm just happy that you post anything at all.
I appreciate your integrity with content (making videos that are useful and entertaining and high quality). Also with keeping ads as unobtrusive as possible. You tube pushes people into making endless repetitive videos, just so they can get their initial hits. I have come "late" to your channel, so I am in that demographic of watching your old videos. Your channel has been so helpful to me. Also fun! HOWEVER, if you ever want to stop, or slow down more, I vote you do that. You tube should not rule your life.
I have loved your videos, all of them, even the typewriter crafts cardboard typewriter…and I love the thrift trips and the nail polish videos. You are a great teacher because you make everything fascinating. I think I found your channel in 2023 and have “caught up” watching all of the videos. I think that you are genius level and humorous also. My heart pained when you talked about your struggles in the past year. You have to do what’s best for you and I’m so glad that you have shared your knowledge and typewriter journey with us, the viewers this far.
Thank you for the update and the introspective. I'm sorry to hear about the down times and the brush with Internet trolls (who I think are just unhappy people who only feel marginally better about themselves when they think they've made others feel less happy than they do), but happy to hear that you're in a more comfortable vibe now. And don't worry about the makeup-less look. You look terrific. If anything, I think you look more professional without it. But it doesn't matter what I think, or what anyone else thinks. Be comfortable in your own skin, and your confidence will continue to shine through in your videos. Your content is dynamite and your presentation is superb, and that's what keeps us coming back for more.
I use ASMR videos to go to sleep. I'm working on my master's degree. After completing my course work I've had a hard time getting into the swing of writing my thesis. I joke that I'll write my thesis on my Smith Corona Sterling 5AX.
Hey Sarah, I have been binge watching your videos lately, and would like to humbly request that when you do "type test" videos could you show us the paper with the view of the finished sentence you typed? Part of getting to know a machine is seeing what the typeface actually looks like on the page. Love your vids!!♥️
Yeah, some, but any vid that has "type test" in the title should also give us a peek at the type. I have a collection of typewriters (only 6 so far) and I'm interested in expanding my collection to include machines with different typeface (like Pica). I have a Torpedo 18b that types in cursive, and I'm dying to land a Hermes 3000 that types in cursive... so I'm not just being a picky nudnick. I'm really interested in the typeface of different machines! You are one of my favorite typewriter peeps, so please take this as a request and not a criticism 8-) Now that I think of it, maybe you could take one piece of paper, type a line on it with every machine in your collection, including the model of the machine, and put it in a video! @@JustMyTypewriter
Thank you for giving us a glimpse into some of the things you have been through this past year. As a result, I appreciate your work and your channel even more. Also, your sense of humour and your willingness to poke fun at yourself make your films the most enjoyable typewriter content on UA-cam. Again, many thanks for all you do!
Love this! I think people really need to know it’s just not that easy . You do a great job! Keep honoring what’s best for you. Thanks for all the great content!!!!
You did a great job on this Sarah! Your honesty about your feelings is so refreshing and I love that you are showing us how much work really goes into your channel. I do have a question though. What prompted you to sell your SC Silent when you were looking for one so long to complete your 5 Series?
I know what you mean. I think once you achieve a goal that you've worked towards for a long time, the next feeling is "Now what?". I also am beginning to sell off some of mine, mainly because of lack of space!
Good vid, albeit different. Interesting all the same. Keep up the good work! Re subject matter, you're a typewriter person, so I presume your followers aren't too fussed about the content being precisely on mark. Agree, bi-weekly (or even monthly) vids probably more manageable & less stressful. Your work is appreciated by many. In relation to the trolls, 'Choose not to be harmed and you won't feel harmed. Don't feel harmed, and you haven't been.' (Aurelius)
I subscribed recently and also bought my first typewriter in 13 years based on your experiences. Thanks!! Or, maybe not. Depends on if I stop at just one.
Do you have a patreon? I would love to support your videos and your thrift store shopping ect. I love your channel and would hate to see it end. I love the ASMR
Love this video and enjoyed your progression. Congrats on your PHD. As an owner of two cats with some 20 typewriters, I wonder if you have any ideas on what to do about all the cat hair? Drama looks like a great pet.
I'm very sensitive to mouth noises but I listened 3 times and can't hear anything on your example. Don't get burnt out editing those out, they apparently aren't as bad as it feels to you.
"It's enough to be on your way. It's enough to cover ground..." - James Taylor. You've been collecting life, as well as typewriters and perspective as well as knowlege. Glad to see you doing well. You are more than an influencer. You are an enlightener, which is rarer...and better. Thank you.

We need more channels like this on youtube. Clean, classy, non political etc etc.. Keep it up

Take a break whenever you need one, Sarah! Your content is loved and you are awesome… but most importantly it has to be fun for you. 😊
Follow YOUR bliss! You don't owe us a thing. We luv ya wha-ever!!
Congratulations on the five year anniversary! I only got into typewriters this year and your videos have been invaluable and entertaining. Thanks for sharing your hobby with us!

Glad to hear things are looking up! Thanks for helping me get into typewriters around my own university life!
I always look forward to your content. I don't get frustrated if it takes a little longer for a video to come out. I just assume that you're busy. I'm just happy that you post anything at all.
I have found many of your videos useful, and have returned to them more thn once.

I do have some videos containing those sorts of shots! Try the type test videos or the ones where I discuss typefaces like Typefaces 101
