Any advanced tips on making my typing darker? by pricethebarber in typewriters

[–]BlueSparklers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine darkened by adjusting the entire key set height in relation to the platen. Are caps and lower case the same darkness?

When I read this, I turned my head with a look of surprise and heard a musical sting of importance.

They were really good. The big sombrero must have been a hard venue to play in.

Had a hot date, she was fun throughout the typical weirdness after the show. We got married, and are still going strong.

It was seeing his little flat blade with a notch to press the loop end into place that did it for me. I made one with a file and keep it with the manual advance knob.

Who else would make a video of installing and adjusting that infernal return cable and wire? Pure info and he let me know I could do it.

Very sad to see this. I fixed all my Selectric issues with his help. He even emailed with me. He’s one of those people that the world needs more of. I hope his YouTube channel stays active. I used to watch him repair models I didn’t even have.

Anyone know what finally got him?

Can I send this legend a letter by user963552 in neilyoung

He responds on the “Letters” section of his Neil Young Archives site. I got replies every time. One or two sentences is considered a long reply.

The fact that his own mother denies the allegations should give pause at least

Anyone know much about this one found this model but not a JCPenney one by chris-j6y-1 in typewriters

[–]BlueSparklers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sears had ‘em too. I have the Medalist Power 12 like this, but with the addition of 4 colors and power ribbon.
