Sorry to hear that you've had a rough time with people online. I'm a big fan of your content and enjoy your informative and enthusiastic approach. Love your choice of various classical tracks as background music. Your mental health always comes first. Nobody would begrudge if you did decide to stop. But I am so glad you are continuing. I look forward to more great content in the future.
I appreciate the support!
I'm so glad you're deciding to continue making content! Your channel is a bit of a rare gem in a sea of old men making typewriter videos, and your perspective as a young person who didn't grow up with typewriters really helped me when buying my first machine. love this channel!
Girl, I seriously admire any regular person getting out there on camera talking about something you’re passionate about. People can be absolute garbage to each other online, in a way they would not dare to do in person. When they post critical or rude comments, it is about THEM and their shitty attitude, not about you. I have seen a couple comments on here over the years that I wanted to give a rude reply to, but I don’t because it just gives them the attention they are desperate for. So so many of us love your videos and would really miss you if you left! 😊
I appreciate the support. My general approach is to not interact with anything that I don't find constructive in their criticism - every once in a while it can be a little much to handle!
I fully understand the aggravation with comments online, I've had experience with that on my little channel (that I've taken a break from). I'm so glad that you didn't give in because you do a great job on your videos. I learn something from each of them and I think it would be a loss if you didn't continue making videos.
You got a great deal on both of those machines and I'm glad they went to someone that is enjoying them and making the most of them while sharing with us.
Lastly, I loved the music section too, nicely done.
Love the new background 😍. The music and video of the cleaning project is right in the vein of Typewriter Chicago that suck you in and mesmerizing to watch. Great job! Looking forward to next video ☺️
Don't stop making videos please!! I'm such a fan of your modern approach to something that feels forgotten today. You're an inspiration!
That's such a nice change in tone with the classical music in background.
Sorry to hear you had a bad time with some people, if you do something on the internet there are always some people who isn't good with that. Do whatever you like, that's the most important thing. I can say: I love your content and information you give to this great community!
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
I'm glad you are still making content, I really enjoy it. I also think your new set looks great. Do what makes you happy. Interestingly, I have about as many typewriters as you, and I've more or less stopped getting new ones recently. After a while you have a lot of the ones you seek, and yes, they seem to be more expensive recently.
I look forward to each new video and thoroughly enjoy watching your wit and knowledge play out on screen. I'm glad to hear you aren't stopping, for now anyway. As others have said, mental health comes first!
People can suck sometimes but I'm glad your channel is still around because I enjoy your content.
I'm so glad you decided to keep the channel running. You're videos helped me decide to get my first typewriter, an Olympia Traveller de Luxe I picked up for $15 at a local thrift store last week.
Loved hearing the Bach. I hope that the negative people don’t stop you. You inspired me to buy/cleanup a $20, 1954 SC Sterling last week. I don’t think I could have done it without your video demos and advice - so thanks for being there. PS: best wishes with the college gig! I taught in colleges most of my life and found it extremely rewarding.
I am very close to this situation and the one thing I know for sure is you are in no way done buying typewriters! In time you will buy the most broken down coveted machines and repair them on your own. You need a few more tools and you might have to ask your friends for information but you are not ready to stop. Some criticism, if it is beneficial, can make you better. If all it is one person judging everybody else's work without benefiting any of us; we don't need that.
I’m so glad that you continued making videos. I really enjoy them. You have a a lot of knowledge and make it humorous at the same time. It would be a huge loss for the typewriter community if you stopped making content.
I'm really glad you decided to continue making content. Facing the words of internet critics really affects mental health, so it's good to take a break from it when the need arises. For the last few months I've started off my mornings with a daily dose of typewriters with your channel, and i appreciate that someone else is enthusiastic about them.
I live in Las Vegas and it can be tough to find typewriters in a reasonable price range for my budget out here, but I'm super-into the ultra-portables and there are sooo many around. I travel through eastern PA all the time and I'm always finding these little beauties to put on my "want list." It's dangerous 😅
Waiting for the day I'm carting one onto a plane to bring home to Vegas 😬
Thanks for the new video and please don't stop - you are helping plenty about machines and getting me ready to tackle a deep cleaning project soon!
Hello, I too am happy you decided to stay, I really look forward to your videos, it makes my day, while I'm waiting for a new video, I watch one your older ones. Thankyou.😊
Absolutely do NOT stop doing your videos. They're brilliant and informative. I've learnt alot from you. Anyone sending you negative comments about your vids post them to me I have a unique way of sorting those type of people out. Please don't stop
I'm so appreciative that you decided to continue making content. You are, by far one of the most entertaining creators, for such a niche topic. You put a lot of time, and passion into your videos, and it shows. I want to thank you for getting me into this hobby. I've been so happy with it, and that's because of you and your videos that I felt confident enough to finally buy, and restore three typewriters myself. If you do decide to leave, I hope it's on your own terms and because I care about your well-being. I can't speak for everyone, but at least 2.3k (at the time of this comment) would notice, and would miss you a great deal. Don't forget silent majority vs. loud minority! Nonetheless, thanks for another amazing video ❤
Sorry to hear you have had a bad time with some internet users.... Most of us love your videos and hope you never stop making them :)
OMG, Sarah, I'm so sorry you were targeted by some of those online nasties! I'm a moderator on a social media platform, and while most people are pleasant to meet, both online and in person, I've learned that there are some who have personal issues, or are just cruel, and can't seem to get through their day unless they've done their best to make someone else feel as miserable as they do. Like you said, anyone who puts anything online eventually has a run-in with trolls, but when I hear about them harassing certain people - and you are one of them - it really burns me up! That's partly because you have such a talent for taking something old and mundane that was ubiquitous when I was growing up and making it fresh, new and interesting. It's also partly because you seem so warm, friendly and approachable in your videos that I can't imagine what kind of monster would want to hurt you. And you remind me so much of one of my daughters that hearing of anyone treating you badly caused my Daddy to the Rescue Instinct to kick in! (I had to remind myself that you're a grown woman who can take care of herself, and you have your own parents to offer you hugs anytime you need them.) In any case, I'm really glad you decided not to discontinue your channel. Even though I'm not a typewriter collector, and I'm not planning to become one, your videos are well-researched, awesome, fun to watch and always make my day.
Keep up the good work, Sarah!
I feel you, I quit posting content and started deleting/backing off my online prescience a lot in the last year. Not just from the other people being, well, awful but I'm just tired of feeding these platforms my data and have them continue to do terrible things with it. Even deleted my website, the works. I grew up in the late 80s and into the 90s and the internet and BBS system back then was a whole different world. More positive, far smaller and generally less polluted with bad people and bad ideas. I couldn't wait to get online on the old hand me down Mac SE/30 or IBM PC AT back then and check my mail, newsgroups, etc. Any time between class in middle or high school and I'd be off to the computer lab as well. Now I do a "oh no, what now" whenever my phone goes off and stay offline as much as I can.
Glad you decided to stick around and it's been nice to see your videos evolve over time. I'm a newcomer to your channel so I've not seen everything yet.
Also, 200% yes in prices going up. I deal mostly in IBM stuff and non-working Selectrics go for $100-$150 these days, saw one on Marketplace asking $399 that had obvious printing issues not too long ago. I used to get them for free as they were so hard to fix most collectors didn't want to bother with them and IBM techs were hard to locate. I'm mechanically inclined so I could generally go through the repair manual and coax them back to life.
Glad to hear you've decided to keep up the content! Your chanel is too good to see it fall by the wayside. Always gonna be some less than savory characters out there--you're not making these videos for them, you're making them for us! The typewriter nerds who desperately need their fix before experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
Thanks for your videos & advice Sarah. I found a Corona 4 at an estate sale Friday, then went back today to see if it was still there, and it was, and they knocked $25 off of the price. It needs a good cleaning, but your videos have given me the confidence to try it myself! Looking forward to the fun.
Congrats on your find!
Hello from Brazil, i'm also a collector. I love you channel, but it's the first time I'm making a comment. Please, I know it's probably very difficult, but don't let these trolls impact you. These people don't deserve attention. Regarding Typewriter content, your channel is one of the largest. Most who watch and like any video usually don't make comments, but haters always love to make their mark. Your channel have a unique view of the subject, maybe because are an young lady and didn't grow up using these machines... your channel its not just another one, remember that... 😉
I am glad that you made the decision to keep making videos.....(and buying more typewriters)! Your videos are soooo informative for ALL experience levels; oh and also entertaining to watch with your subtle bits of humour, AND they are professionally created and edited, fast-paced and action-packed, which suits me personally anyway. (can't stand slooooow talkers) It is a huge skill and obvious natural talent that you have to convey useful and relatively niche information so fluidly, and concisely, and in a genuinely entertaining way. You are passionate about what you do and most people never get to experience that themselves. likely, any negativity that you are receiving is due to that person's dissatisfactions with their own lives and really has nothing to do with what you do with yours, however, it is VERY understandable to feel those actions deeply and be negatively affected by them. Thank You for continuing to Provide, as you do. Your big fan, The Solar Flare Nightmare~
Thank you for the encouragement!
No one should judge you for what you do or do not buy. I have a S-C Corsair Deluxe (like your first typewriter!) and while I love it, I have discovered that years of typing on computer keyboards has rendered me useless at touch typing on a manual typewriter. Weak pinkies, for sure! I want to look for a Smith-Corona 5TE to see if electrically-assisted typing will be my jam. Thank you for your content!
Great video!! I loved the Bach prelude montage. I’m glad that corona typewriter worked out. I could tell it wasn’t in terrible shape- I think it was a good deal. I love your videos always. Remember-you’re only going to reach about 25% of the people in life. Some just will not understand you. It’s taken me a lifetime to get to that understanding. You are my TH-cam idol. I just want to be like you when I grow up!❤❤mom
Good to hear that you're going on with the channel. You would have been dearly missed. I'm sure 99.99% of viewers love your work. May the other 00.01% get an unreachable itch.
About pricing. I think you're right about the rising gas prices, retail costs and increased shipping costs initially causing prices to rise. However, and I see this happening already where I live (The Netherlands, Europe), highly priced listings remain unsold much longer. Eventually the market corrects itself. When people have to be thrifty or at least more thoughtful about their expenditures, prices will go down. Also there's a universe of sub-economical or non-professional exchanges and outlets. There are still many, many typewriters stored in attics, basements and lockers waiting for a new loving owner. The well isn't running dry any time soon.
as i've binged on heretofore unseen JMT 'tubes, you hit 5k subscribers. congratulations, sarah!
re. the vid, five months ago was the beginning of the long peak of "when will it end" prices but it seems lately they've begun to come down on many models. not hermes 3ks, though. am i the only one seeing this? because i might be insane. but i'm glad you didn't end the show. "don't be afraid. just be a rebel."
I appreciate it- I agree some of the prices do seem to be settling
If you ever want to sell the black Corona Standard, lemme know- that one is BEAUTIFUL! How smoothly does it type, now that it's all cleaned up?
Very smooth - I was shocked by how nice it types because the lid is slightly bent
Don't ever let a troll take your energy. Push ahead at doing what you love!
Beautiful Coronas, and awesome soundtrack (Bach N°1 Cello Suite). Keep it up. Greetings from Buenos Aires.
Enjoyable video, thanks, Sarah. Typewriter pricing here in the U.K. has become extortionate, with people who know little or nothing about typewriters greedily cashing in. The situation also now in the U.K. regarding importing from Europe is prohibitive because, as we are no longer in the European Union, import Customs Excise duty has to be paid before goods can be released. I was recently scalped for an additional £55.00 duty. This means my buying has to be limited to the U.K. Shipping costs from the USA can sometimes be as much if not more than the machine itself!
Anyway, great job with the Corona …you love that Green!
All of my Barbie typewriters were from the UK and the shipping rates were insane! I didn’t even consider the addition of a customs fee - I don’t envy you
This was great. Please don’t let the keyboard bullies stop you. Always love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
Oh, man can't wait for the cleaning of the SC, I just did mine and I also used a tooth brush, but I used a special soap bar detergent, let's see what you used. Also, I'm interested to know if any of the "wrinkles" disappeared when you used your method. Can't wait.
(this saturday......)
Another brilliant video. I'm getting to the stage now where I have to curb my habit of buying typewriters. I didn't realize how addictive it can be. The problem is, of course, that as soon as I decide to slow down someone puts a $30 flat top 1936 Corona Silent online in the next suburb over from where I live and I'm back off the wagon.
We went to many yards sales and some estate sales and we have not found any, only in antique stores.
"Running out of typewriters", heh - you make funny joke there :D
So glad you chose to ignore the haters. I love and appreciate your content, Sarah. 🤗
Looking forward to the next video where you show us the Corona in detail.
It’s really funny.
I am looking for a 1938 Smith Corona Sterling but in Germany - where I live - the Coronas are super rare.
Even the 5 Series, which I adore as well.
Seeing the pictures from these yardsales and that these Coronas being that cheap overseas, makes me frustrated.
But that’s probably the same thing as if you were looking for an Olympia SM or a Triumph or Adler typewriter in US
I absolutely feel that way about Olympia machines and Adlers! I've never even seen a Triumph in person
I'm sorry that some people can't understand how amazing your content is. I personally used your videos to help find me and my fiance our typewritters
Hope you've found some fun ones for the collection!
Sorry to hear people have been rude to you online, your videos are awesome and if you ever do need a break for a bit that is okay, try not to let them get to your because there are more people who love your content than people who are rude, love the video
I appreciate your kind words!
Sarah, please continue adding content to your channel if you can, although I would certainly understand it if you needed to stop. I really enjoy your dry sense of humour that shines through every video. I also I agree with your observations: prices seem to be going up and when you see a good deal, you want to grab it. I just got a 1939 Hermes baby featherweight for the same reason.
Congrats on the Hermes! They seem to be very popular - I’ve never tried one
@@JustMyTypewriter Thanks! Take care!
You have my 'voice', too from Croatia :-) love your work ...
I also really want one of these Corona flattops because they are so beautiful and one in this good condition in my area and selling for $230-$500
Ignore the negative comments and sadly those will always be around. Keep making those videos.
My ribbon reverse switch is broken on mine, not broken broken, just a bit wonky. I can’t find any images on the mechanism. I wonder if it has the same mechanism as the flat top
You may want to look for an old war repair manual- they covered typewriter repair for a bunch of different typewriters with descriptive diagrams
@@JustMyTypewriter oh that’s right… where do i find them?
@@hitbyabus4615 site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-manuals.html
@@JustMyTypewriter thank you
i want one of those corona standards, the shape of the top reminds me of a grand piano
Hey,
You cannot make everyone happy.
Especially not on the internet.
There will always be douchebags and A-holes or B-holes and even C-holes.
So do not worry about those.
I like your content and based on that I think you are an intelligent enough person to differentiate between valid critique and some that comes from these people that I mentioned before.
Glad you keep on doing videos.
Looking forward to the next ones.
My brother found a Corona Standard Flattop in a local antique store for $100. The pictures looked like it was in good shape cosmetically but he ended up not testing it for me =‘(
I definitely would have got it if it was in a workable condition. $35 a steal for that machine imho
I'm pretty happy with it- I hope a new one crosses your path soon!
@@JustMyTypewriter I’m glad! I’m still in love with my Lettera 22, I definitely wouldn’t turn it down though.
BTW don’t listen to the haters, you do you, easier said than done I know. I enjoy all your content though
this got recommended to me. i don't really understand why though. good job cleaning the thing
thanks
If you love the SC, you must buy the Alpine Blue, it's heaven. Love mine. Keep it up, don't let anyone be a killjoy.
Hello, I have always been a fan of typewriters. I recently found your TH-cam channel. I just bought a typewriter’s and would love to know how to clean them. Is there an email I might be able to communicate with you. I love the content and all you share thank you. I appreciate your time.
Hi there! I link it in the bottom of all my youtube descriptions!
justmytypewriter@gmail.com
Well I have notice I have been seeing less and less usable typewriters for sell
Same here
Grea video as usual.
Bought three in the last two weeks....
There will always be people online than want you to fail and not succeed. You just have to learn to deal with it in your own way. I am glad you are my type writter friend both here and on your instagram.
Hi Sarah,
I'm glad you have decided to keep releasing content, as I love it so.
I have several typewriters and love them as much as you love yours. Inanimate objects do have soul and do have a life.
I live in the UK and would love to write to you on my 1917 Oliver number 9 typewriter. Hit me up on messenger with your address and I'll send you some of my musings.
Keep going!
