One of my favorite typewriters. (And the “snappiest” machine I own; reminds me of that brash little kid always looking for a brawl!) And now, thanks to the title, I know what ASMR is. I’ve watched them and enjoyed them but, until this morning, never heard the term or even knew it was an actual “thing”. (And, mind you, I was a psych major.) Thank you!
I took typewriter class in 8th grade. I have no idea how to use a typewriter any more and haven't used one in 4 decades or so. But touch typing is baked into my soul. So it goes.
@@JustMyTypewriterThere's a german brand of typewriter putty called Typutz that they still manufacture. It's made for cleaning residue buildup in the typeslugs but might work well for the purpose of removing dirt from tight areas in the machine.
Do you have a video covering what to do when your ribbon is smudging along the paper? This is happening to me with the bottom red ink and I’m wondering if it’s something with the machine I need to alter or just the ribbon.
@@JustMyTypewriter Hi! I tried this and it remained clean for a few lines then started up again, gah! I’m having this issue with my Smith Corona silent and it looks like the ribbon just leans on the paper at certain points when it’s moving. Will keep trying, thank you!
I don't know why I thought this was going to be an ASMR typing video when you never do write wit me or long form type test videos on this channel. In case that is what anyone is looking for I posted a video about a week ago called "Write with me | 12.45 minute typing on a typewriter | ASMR"
typewriter ASMR that doubles as a cleaning and disassembly video? Sign me up!

Great video! A beautiful typewriter AND beautiful nail polish. 😀
Always amazing! ❤❤ Give the kitties a hug from me!
I know it took a lot longer than that but it was fun to watch and the type quality at the end was MUCH better.
Great content
🎉
Very cool. Would you recommend using that putty? Can you link an amazon? I have 3 of that body type but never use them
@@claywebster7401 I would not! It got stuck everywhere and was very difficult to remove. I’ve had better luck with silly putty

@@wickedkris5910 you may need to clean out the ribbon vibrator (thing that brings the ribbon up and down).

@@wickedkris5910 might be that it was bent slightly at some point
Do you know much about Tom Thumb typewriters? I’d love to see a video about them.
@@danyearick1484 hi there! I’ll see what I can do
That's tw. 😊
I just got one of these! Enjoyable video! I will now take a hard pass on blue goo.😉 Didn't Agatha Christie use one of these??

I'd say the ASMR in this video is the whole cleaning sequence, with the sounds.
Hmmm I don’t understand the attraction of ASMR. I appreciate the title because ASMR for the most part annoys me so only watched a bit. Nice typewriter
