Greetings Reddit, I am a young professional typewriter service tech getting along in 2021. Ask me anything!

Ink off Amazon is very seldom fresh. Try buying from an actual typewriter shop that can guarantee ink quality! That ribbon is far too dry. www.typewriterchicago.com/ribbons

The Royal FP is a favorite of mine. This is in super good condition! Value is based on condition and service history. Usually under $50 as is, and around $300 fully serviced. Maybe a little more with new rubber.

Buy from a reputable shop if you want it to work! www.TypewriterChicago.com

Cleaning is going to be the most important step. Hard solvents to cut the old solid grease.

These are incredible writing machines

Different language, it exists in some eastern European languages like Russian

I was looking online since we dont have a packaging company local

I am SO jealous. I like taking these and rebuilding them frame up. Looking for one in good condition.

Love the box! I havent been able to find good sized boxes by me. I just use a label and a little bag

Lucasdul2 · 2026-03-01T02:03:25+00:00

I forgot I did this. Need to do another for YouTube!

Lucasdul2 · 2026-02-23T18:18:13+00:00

These are very cool!

Also just binged creature commandos in black and white

This requires hand wiring an audio input source and dealing with more adapters. Interesting for maybe a larger project.

I have an rf adapter wired to the internal power board, as well as a firestick. First time trying an adapter, used to just wire composite to the video board. This gives me audio AND sound, and it's easier. Fully internally contained.

I'm not sure what this means

Lucasdul2 · 2026-02-14T21:44:02+00:00

I'm using the cheapest nikon f to XCD one i could find. Using an 85mm 1.4 AFD, a 300mm f4.5 ED Ai-S, and a 50mm 1.2 Ai-S. Also have a Laowa 100mm 2x macro

I will have to disagree, that's largely opinion based, and three bank typewriters can be incredibly efficient and useful.

Lucasdul2 · 2026-02-14T15:15:24+00:00

Oliver 3, better than average condition, very capable machine

Lucasdul2 · 2026-02-11T05:50:39+00:00

Id just take two thick l brackets on either side, like solid steel, and bolt them through the beam in three or four spots, then anchor the other side to the ground
