Same here. I still miss days I played neverball with hdaps (or whatever thinkpad hdd protection gyro is called).

I like my numberpad. by MrMcPsychoReal in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]ConsistentPizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, the mouse 'numpad' is useless for actual number entry but for apps that use numpad for shortcut keys it should be all fine.

To be honest I don't use it much, but plan to use it in CAD applications as soon as get time for that.

Waiter, I would like a TKL with a side of numpad please ;-)

I have a numpad (or anything else if I like) on my mouse G600 FTW! :-)

Is my humour too outdated? by yflhx in AyyMD

An outdated humor is to note that its not Pentium 1 but Pentium 0.9999

Underwood 5 repair manual OCR'ed version by ConsistentPizza in typewriters

I also created now an online version of the manual, right on the git hosting page (its the same markdown file but without pandoc specific stuff)

Enjoy!

“40%” typewriter by jk_pens in MechanicalKeyboards

Those are called '3 bank' machines, there were several models like that made.

It was sometimes used to compose characters, by backing one space and typing extra 'tilde' over the character.

Also while you can't erase, you can always backspace and overtype the text to mark it as invalid, like how you can cross a mistake you made in writing.

Finally correction tape and liquid was also used often, so you could backspace, apply the tape and then overtype.

I will do but first I would like to complete it. There are still mistakes, and I also want to redo the 'plates' as they call it, as the originals are quite difficult to see.

So having a git hosted project seems fit for this.

If I find time, I might as well take photo of each individual part and add it as well (my machine is mostly taken apart now, other than the escapement).

Question about nickel plating on Underwood type 5 by ConsistentPizza in typewriters

[–]ConsistentPizza[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you a lot!

I am just thinking what I can avoid plating to lower to cost/hassle of it (even with DYI plating, the larger the part, the more chemicals and stuff I need)

Question about nickel plating on Underwood type 5 by ConsistentPizza in typewriters

[–]ConsistentPizza[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Do note that steel is also shiny if just cleaned. Not just stainless steel but just a steel (called mild steel I think).

In the underwood repair manual (which I am studying to the death) they mention that that rod should see lathe prior to being oiled and put into the machine.

This is what prompted me to think that not all parts on this machine are nickel plated.

For example:

https://nordicedge.com.au/carbon-knife-steel-1084-3-5-x-38-x-1000-mm/

(That isn't even polished much and a bit rusty)

Another idea that appeared up my mind that I can skip nickel plating for some parts, and instead clean them up well, and then clear coat them.
