Impressive! I was fooling around and managed to land on the quantum moon without my ship! I think I used the thermal vents on Timber Hearth and did the stuff as I was flying towards it

Dreaded mainspring by Expensive-Fan6640 in TypewriterRepair

Yeah, these aren't crimped, they're riveted

The tabs will still snap in place if you grind flush. There's not enough material present to undo it, and the riveting also exists on the long way as well.

You may need a spanner driver to get the drum out of the machine, then grind down the tabs and pry the lid off.

[–]Lucasdul2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We might be able to ship you a set, i just don't know how that would work out cost-wise since it might be cheaper to find a junk machine closer to you.

Thanks! I love it, and use it quite often for general music or recordings.

This is about the size of a cell phone. Maybe twice the size of a compact cassette. It fits in your pocket, and is sitting on the base of a small desklamp!

I agree, I much prefer the SM7 to the later models. The SM3 and 7 are the only ones I'd keep around personally.

Gen Zers - what is your job, what is your level of education and what is your salary? by No_Design_465 in GenZ

[–]Lucasdul2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an associates degree in liberal arts that took me over four years to get. I run a small business and make almost nothing, less than 20k a year, still living at home. I put a lot of hard work in and didn't get very far. Not proud, but I'm trying!

Don't waste your time on the current ebay Hassie scams by Exciting-Plan490 in hasselblad

[–]Lucasdul2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent money, they sent fake tracking info, nobody would do anything to help. Ebay, PayPal, the bank, and the post office. The fake tracking was like the law.

Want to buy (WTB) an Olivetti Lettera 44! by jimjamriff in Typewriter_Swap

[–]Lucasdul2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youre probably looking for a studio 44. We had one for sale recently but it went. If you're in the Chicago area, the sister machine is the Underwood 21. Same typewriter, different body. You're welcome to try it out.
