- In this video, I take on the challenge of restoring a 1913 Oliver No. 5 typewriter. The typewriter was in rough shape, covered in corrosion and grime, and I wanted to get it back into working condition.

How many typewriters do you have to restore to reach this level of expertise? So many components! So many screws! So many ways to get it wrong! Lovely work. Also the typeface on this model is gorgeous.
Beautifully restored. Original paint, original decals, original nickel plating, the definitive typewriter restoration video. The No 5 is one of the most beautiful Olivers ever made, it’s also the last model to be produced in Thomas Oliver’s lifetime. Would love to see you take on a No 3, there are many out there waiting to be brought back to life.
Wow, that was satisfying... and only had to break out the wire wheel once! Makes me miss my old Olivers
Now THIS is a restoration video. Not that other BS of everything from a viking axe to a Hot Wheels Hummer that somehow aged exactly the same way. Well done sir. Great work and result.
@joekirsten you might like wristwatch revival also.
This is an awesome repair.
That is definitely a unique typewriter indeed. I have never seen one like that before. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Super excellent work.
Фантастика. Это волшебство. Мой восторг.
I just found my first Oliver typewriter.
I’d love to restore it but after watching this amazing tutorial ( I know I’d lose by step three lol.
Fun to watch ( I'm going to keep watching! ) again and again and again!
That's great! Always good to see that there is no witchcraft in this things
I'm so jealous of people who can take apart and put together machines and not totally screw it up.
Wonderful job. Appreciate the natural sounds with no music during the restoration.
That is some meticulous work, great resto job 👍
Thank you!
I am in awe of the skilled it takes to break down and reassemble something of this complexity. But then, when I think of the people who engineered this device originally, in an age before computer aided drawings, when everything had to be done with paper and pencil. I can just imagine the complexity of the patent drawings alone. I’m just amazed at what it took to conceive, design, build, and now restore something like this. My hat is off to you!
the greatest thing about Olivers is that they are actually pretty simple machine to disassemble an reassemble which make them an even more remarkable design when compared to others. They are a good entry level to typewriter restoration
Definitely a unique look and letter key mechanism for sure
Nice! Part of the skill of restoration is to find items in the right condition to restore. You chose this one well, with good paintwork with a nice (not too far gone) patina. The end result is a beautiful item that still shows age, but with clean mechanical parts. Not over-restored!
wouaaahhhh !
merveilleux travail !
félicitations bravo !
This would be a 100 part video on TikTok! Beautiful work dude and thank you
More complicated than a suisse watch! Love it.
I have an Oliver similar to the one in the video. My grandfather gave me when I was 10. It sat in a damp basement for over 40 years. Now I want to clean and restore it, but there is surface rust on all the keys. If I took it all apart like in the video, I'd never get it back together.
Great restoration job, I need to restore a Royal 10 that needs little more depth than that one. Excellent job.
Nice to see something different. There's a limit to how many knives, Tonka toys and coffee-makers I can get excited about. Liked and sub'd.
What a great restoration 😃😃
That is very complex design. The time it took to build and design that.
Shame stuff built today won't be around as long as this machine
Damn fine work.
You did a wonderful job
Good job, glad you knew where everything went putting it back together again.
Im trying to follow this to disassemble an Oliver 5 of my own. I'm surprised to see that the Oliver paint job can survive the degreaser. It certainly makes cleaning the thing up look easy when you can just blast all the parts with the same can.
Awesome work 👏
Thank you! 🙏
@@TypewriterRestorations you welcome.
Wonderfil work, now if i could only find someone as talented to work on my vintage typewriter and my ibm selectype ii. You are very talented.
Keep it up good luck!
Super professional top player.
It looks like some sort of torture device taken apart but a masterpiece together.👍
Vintage ❗☺
Excelente trabajo de restauracion, me gustó q no quitaras su pintura original.
Congratulations
Perhaps you could also add some theremin music when you use the ultrasonic thing.
Wouldn’t it be interesting ro remake a typewriter like this and a matching period adding machine and turn them into a computer keyboard.
Awesome job! What kind of black paint did you use to restore the 'T' 5 key at the 19:11 mark in the vid? TIA!
Thanks! I used basic acrylic paint.
An interesting video but it would have been nice to have an audio description of what you are doing and what the different parts are & do, for non typewriter folk.
And captions enabled too for deaf people - I'd been wondering whether there was any narration, but I couldn't check due to captions being disabled.
Good Day! What did you use to polish the Oliver typewriter and make it shiny? Thanks!
Assembly is the reverse of disassembly. Easy peasy. 😂
I got an Oliver No. 9 I'm working on right now. What kind of cleaning products did you use on which parts? I'm really curious since they're both so similar.
I have exactly this question too
What model ultrasonic cleaner? Thanks.
How do you remove rust? Mine has a lot of rust?
Is that normal color at 19:22 for the keys?
Antone ego write in this machine not?
imposible de montar todo otra vez sin tener referencias ni fotos. FAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
y si le borrabas todos los logos con esa burrada que hiciste??? nada feliz
Cleaned not restored, B.S click bait
Cleaning is not restoring
