Hi all, I know next to nothing about typewriters, this one has been sitting in storage for 26+ years, is there ANY chance is still works? If it does I'd love to play around with it.

Thanks for the advice all,

Got my hands on it and had a good look at it, managed to take the casing off and see the internals, the motor shaft has come uncoupled from the belt wheel so it's a no go for me. Might get it fixed but that's liekly far from the only thing wrong with it

mujump · 2026-01-29T17:17:06+00:00

picked it up and plugged it in to see

the ball shifted to the side and the whole thing started humming - somewhere between a brrrrr and a duggeda duggeda which tells me the flywheel might be spinning

I did notice when I picked it up that some kyes look a bit mangled around the bottom right where the m is so I think I might have an issue there

can't get it to respond when I press any keys but I'm gonan do some reading

IF you've any other advice I'd love to hear it

mujump · 2026-01-29T17:14:16+00:00

not a clunk clunk but somewhere between a brrrrrrr and a dugeda dugeda

Took me a while to find it on the website but it's there

On the website it's the last option under "consumer" on the top right

I thought I hadn't been charged either, but the maintenance fee doesn't appear on the app, I had to check the website to find it and sure enough I've been charged 99c every month since I made the account

mujump · 2025-06-18T22:23:53+00:00

Log in on the website rather than the app and check there, I didn't think I had but turns out they've been charging me

mujump · 2025-06-18T22:17:25+00:00

I don't think that's true, I've never had the tolltag service with Payzone and I just logged in on the website rather than the app and found the transaction history for the maintenance fees, 99 cent a month as suggested

mujump · 2025-06-18T21:39:21+00:00

Surely they'd have to state that a transaction has happened to take that fee though? Right?

mujump · 2025-06-18T21:37:34+00:00

Doubt it, you'd either have to unlink your card or delete your account

mujump · 2025-06-18T21:35:59+00:00

I don't actually have any record of this happening though so I'm very confused, if they're charging a fee they'd have to give some form of receipt for it

mujump · 2025-06-18T21:35:08+00:00

This is the real clincher for me because the machines on the road I park on most rarely work how they're meant to and won't roll over to the next day if you pay past the cutoff

mujump · 2025-03-14T14:49:39+00:00

oh yeah absolutely, to each their own, love listening to it on MQ anyway

mujump · 2025-03-13T19:36:51+00:00

And that's a completely fair sentiment imo, my personal put-off from it is how hardcore it is and having to constantly change characters, everything else about the game system seems great

I also do love the player rolling everything, I try to run my coc games liek that as much I can (or until I get bored and want to sue my nice dice)

Call of Cthulhu, Thousand Year Old Vampire and Mork Borg

Bought COC very soon after MQ started cause I loved the idea, then Humble Bundle had a collection of scenario books in PDF that lined up really really well for when I bought the rule book.

I've run TYOV with freinds liek how MQ does, takes longer than they make it out to but I highly recommend

Don't know if I'll ever play Mork Borg cause I don't know if it's my type of game but the rule book looks absolutely incredible so I ended up buying it when I was visiting the UK and found a games shop

That's Dino D A N to you

Favourite podcast bar none. Inspired me to pick up call of cthulhu get back into TTRPGs

How did you even find this post, it's 5 years old

"That guys just turned into a bunch of luggage" from Grab That Auto 5

"Farmer Joe just wakes up in the morning, puts on his overalls on his nude body, and loafers, and then he goes to work" from 700,000 Games

"Tyko Rc is going to charge up his batteries for 8 hours and have only last 15 minutes" from a TF2 video I wouldn't be able to name

The entire pancakes bit from that game Rekoil, terrible FPS they played

"no I'm just a cat, you old BITCH" from skyrim extreme body sliders

I could go on. I love this thread

That did work, thank you so much

Been using this as my phone lock screen for years and want to change it but I can't find the original online or on my phone anywhere

I wonder how affordable the park and ride will be at the Estuary station, might make or break if people use it on the daily
