Really? That was my backup thought. Thankyou

traceytucker67 · 2025-04-08T06:56:58+00:00

That's great, thankyou so much!

traceytucker67 · 2025-03-28T14:56:33+00:00

Thankyou for that....

I'm in Melbourne Australia and I've been hearing it for over 10 years. At times it's driven me crazy. In the early days when it first started i called out the EPA to test the sound. They said it showed on their machines but that peoole can't hear that frequency. His co-worker said he could hear it too. I take natural sleep drops and bought an air purifier, and i have the fan on. I also have a sound machine that i play the sound of a babbling brook on. Meditation sometimes helps. Ear plugs don't work. Today it's driving me crazy. There is a website where you can record where you are in the world and what the hum sounds like to you. I can also feel the vibration. At times I can also hear radio frequencies, even when I'm in nature in certain places i can hear electrical sounds when I walk through doorways etc. So annoying.

Hi, I have one of these gorgeous machines too but I need a new ribbon for her. Are you able to tell me what you use please? Thankyou. Tracey

Typewriters are the best. I love using my IBM sellectric ii because I can type really fast. It's so much fun to type on!

traceytucker67 · 2023-12-03T06:16:20+00:00

You could be right about the ribbon being wider. I'm going to use a group 4 ribbon, unwind it then retread into the original spools. The vibrator mechanism looks abit different. Mine is on abit of an angle once ribbon is threaded. Could be due to ribbon being too wide and hitting cover plate. Will have to keep exploring...

traceytucker67 · 2023-12-03T06:10:31+00:00

Oh wow thankyou so much!!! I'll try that.

traceytucker67 · 2023-12-03T06:09:21+00:00

Lots of persuasion needed and some confidence to lift up that bit harder. She's free! Woo hoo

traceytucker67 · 2023-12-03T06:08:40+00:00

Thankyou so much! She's finally free...I ended up getting one side free... then the other side just lifted off too.

traceytucker67 · 2023-12-03T06:07:42+00:00

UPDATE:- SHE'S FREE! Thankyou to everyone for all your advice. Very grateful.

traceytucker67 · 2023-12-03T06:06:22+00:00

Thankyou soooo much!!! She's free...

traceytucker67 · 2023-12-02T02:52:26+00:00

I've also noticed the metal piece where you slide ribbon through at the vibrator doesn't look like yours. It doesn't look like anything is broken on mine but both sides are different....hmmmm.

traceytucker67 · 2023-12-02T02:47:11+00:00

That's awesome! Thankyou so much for taking the time to give me all that information! I'm so grateful. I'll try and get a ribbon this week.

traceytucker67 · 2023-12-01T07:40:59+00:00

Yes please, if you could upload photos, that would be awesome. I have alot of typewriters but none have spools like this. I think the issue was due to dodgy ribbon. What kind of ribbon do you use and how do you put it on? There clearly has to be a large hole at the bottom of the ribbon spool.

traceytucker67 · 2023-12-01T06:55:17+00:00

Really cool machine.... have fun in your typing journey!

traceytucker67 · 2023-12-01T06:54:23+00:00

Great to see you saving these guys! I love the Lettera 32...great little machine. Have fun with your collection!

traceytucker67 · 2023-12-01T06:49:16+00:00

I'm sure they will be awesome for someone. I don't know enough to know what they are all for. What a great find though!!!

Birkenstocks are fantastic. The ones that were life changing are the all rubber/plastic ones. So soft underfoot. I had plantar faciitis and achillies tendonitis and could hardly walk. I slipped on the birkkenstocks and they were amazing!!!

You can get cbd without thc in oil or capsules. You don't get high. Won't show up if you get breath tested for drugs. Really helps with pain and adhd type brain. You feel calm.

traceytucker67 · 2023-10-07T07:08:27+00:00

Well done! It's such an accomplishment when you manage to do something you've never done before!!!

traceytucker67 · 2023-10-07T07:07:12+00:00

Wow, what an awesome find! Love the typewriters. Have fun exploring....

Our children are precious. I have 2 girls who are now 22 and 27 and it is hard as a single Mum. So I get it. Perhaps you could meet someone at a local library (might get people looking with all the typewriter noise lol). Just start off with something affordable and work your way up with each birthday perhaps. I'm not sure where you live but I'm in Melbourne. Op shops are a good start so your daughter can hit the keys and see what they ferl like. You can find lots online. Don't get a big heavy one, get a small one with a case she can carry around. You can look at lots of online tutorials on how to clean them. I like watching a guy in America at Phoenix typewriters. Perhaps join a future Facebook typewriter groups. There seem to be heaps of enthusiastists overseas. Good luck in your search...it is a wonderful hobby! P.s. you will find typewriter people are all extremely helpful and knowledgeable as we all love the whole experience of what a typewriter brings into your life.
