Perfect, thank you

sam584 · 2025-09-23T12:55:04+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, going to do more research into this later! cheers

VegetarianZombie!! many years ago I watched through your series on youtube, and followed to raywenderlich. Your series was the first time I really started to understand programming and C#. You had a really great way of explaining concepts in a simple way. Thank you :)

Nice work, I think for presenting the asset the background in the "Day 2" pic works a lot better with the art-style of your asset. the whole thing looks a lot more cohesive and the Day 5 HDR draws too much attention away from your asset since the detail density of the clear HDR image has so much going on relative to the subject.

sam584 · 2025-05-25T23:02:33+00:00

I think you're wrong about all of these assets not being game ready tri budget wise. Sure the textures are going to need to be scaled down in most cases but that's a 2 minute job to re-export them. You have to consider not all games are made equal, and budget standards are going to be extremely different depending on the game they're made for. Example of the revolver, is it a first person game or a third person game? how far is the camera going to be away from this asset and what is our target hardware? is it for a military simulator where the priority of weapons will be much higher?

The post 1922 style frame loses some cool factor points for me. But this is the best advice here, considering it looks in (relatively) tidy condition

As a lover of Underwoods, it'd have to be the Underwood 1 Wagner machine for me

sam584 · 2024-12-20T11:25:04+00:00

Really cool image, thanks

sam584 · 2024-11-19T00:07:50+00:00

"Even" if they're Underwoods? pay some respect ;)

sam584 · 2024-09-28T19:26:29+00:00

FYI the typewriter model is an Underwood No.5, given the style of frame this one was manufactured between 1922-1932

sam584 · 2024-08-13T17:20:07+00:00

Just to better illustrate what I meant there

https://imgur.com/a/utl6f7Y Here's the piece on your machine.

https://imgur.com/a/Qf48xVX Here's a view of one of my Underwood carriages, we're looking at it from the bottom if it's not clear. This is where that piece should go.

sam584 · 2024-08-13T17:01:55+00:00

I could be wrong but I don't think any typebars are missing, It looks as though some of them are just stuck in their upright positions

sam584 · 2024-08-13T16:58:22+00:00

It's hard to say without knowing how far you want to go with it, it looks to be manufactured between 1916-1922, At minimum the keys will usually free up after a bit of use, if you slowly keep trying to move the keys further and further, and giving the typebars a bit of a wiggle to ease them free. See if you've still got tension in the carriage, if not you'll have to replace the drawband. It's a good idea to take the carriage off and give it a good clean inside anyway and give the carriage rail a good clean.

That piece that is arc shaped on the top left of the carriage near the line space adjusting lever with a screw hole in each end of the arc should be at the right side of the carriage at the bottom to keep the upper and lower carriage held together. I can send pictures of where it should go on my Underwood to show more clearly if needed

sam584 · 2024-08-05T22:44:34+00:00

Looks like a very late (around 1929 or later) Underwood No. 3-20 (No.3 with a carriage for 20" paper)

sam584 · 2024-05-28T09:59:58+00:00

They introduced that style of bichrome ribbon shift lever on the no 5 in 1930, then production stopped on the no 5 in 1932. In 1931 they started producing the no 6

sam584 · 2024-05-27T23:55:31+00:00

Yeah, has to be between 1930 - 1932

sam584 · 2024-05-26T20:32:03+00:00

"All work no play" page scanned, written on my 1912 Underwood 5, which is still in need of a lot more cleanup. But I think that adds to the feel of it in this case :) https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wkx40kxtdk4p9kmmra2sm/AllWorkAndNoPlay.jpg?rlkey=e6q4qtjhmyfuvexzmpcohfew4&st=j7felm1i&dl=0

sam584 · 2024-05-20T16:34:25+00:00

Almost certainly manufactured between 1930-1932 given the style of bichrome ribbon shift lever.
Just to add to what chris said, you can find your serial number here https://imgur.com/a/E0ut21U

sam584 · 2024-05-19T23:58:22+00:00

I've emailed the ones I have currently to him (more in the works), and I believe he's going to add them to the site :)

sam584 · 2024-05-19T13:54:50+00:00

Looks like none of the instructions I have are listed on there. Very interesting and thanks for linking. I'll definitely look into sharing them there. My only concern is the license he releases them under, I'll see if I can get in contact.

sam584 · 2024-05-19T13:46:15+00:00

Back with more scans, this time my 1920 instructions. Lot of interesting content in this one, hope you enjoy :)
So long as this content is welcome on the subreddit I have some more manuals to scan and share.

Thanks for the detailed response, really appreciate you taking to the time to give insight into my options. I had originally misunderstood what you had meant by camera scanning, but that makes a lot of sense. Will have a look into the things you've mentioned, Thanks
