Typewriters

That's a very good news! Will Davis publishes videos without any kind of editing, but he shares information that you won't find anywhere else.

I really enjoyed watching this. It has a certain nostalgia-inducing ambience. I found it on Joe Van Cleave's Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/hhJVjI8M12k Joe added some great commentary, so you might want to watch it there instead.

A productive evening

My Adler Contessa de Luxe now works! It has a lovely font. I cleaned it, changed (respooled) the ribbon, and made a few little adjustments. It still has two problems: one of the sticky keys is still sticky (the others aren't anymore), and the bell doesn't work most of the time. But I'm happy, it's the first machine I actually repaired.

After gifting my Predom (Facit) to a writer friend that will make much better use of it, I finally made my mind which one clean and set up for use.
