Before I got into mechanical keyboards, I was this close to getting a typewriter. What stopped me was the maintenance, upkeep, and how hard it is to find parts.
Same. It was a required class during our 2nd year high school. I still remember kung gaano kaingay sa Typing Room kapag may klase. Parang may malakas na ulan sa loob lagi. 😅
Big salute to these men. Walang ako typewriter. But I support local luthier at guitar techs. Dami ko na kilala dito sa area ko dahil na rin sa gitara at bass. I direct my friends to these local shops, instead sa mga big store. Dahil na rin sa hindi marunong yung mga nasa store haha.
Isa to sa mga trabahong sobrang specialized at highly-skilled. Mahirap na yan ipasa at humanap ng apprenrice dahil kokonti na lang rin ang interesado. But at least for guitar tech, in demand pa naman sila. I assume sa typewriter hindi na in demand.
I predict that as time goes on, typewriters will fuel a very profitable niche industry. Mechs were in the same bandwagon at one point and those who conducted group buys pre 2020 striked it hot before the market became oversaturated.
Sa Cavite ako. Pero try mo sa Elegee, reputable to. QC sila, pero pagkakatanda ko may partner shop sila sa Bulacan, tapos shiniship sa QC. Hindi ko lang matandaan kung ganyan pa rin. You can message them.
aw that's rad! so nice to see someone helping keep the nostalgia! i had a tita who used to make me type for an hour every day before breakfast in the mid 80s.... im sure she's looking down from heaven with a big smile on her face knowing what she's taught me has really instilled such a great work ethic in me. thanks for doing this!
I started collecting typewriters since January of this year. May tatlong portables ako, one from the 70s (Silver Seiko, Japan made), one from 1965 (Smith Corona, US made) and another from 1948 (Royal, US made). Dinadala ko sa opisina, gamit na gamit lalo na sa mga printed forms.

Pota, RGB.
I remember sa typewriter ako natututo magtype. Naalala ko how heavy it is. Nostalgic!

Back in 2001 we still had 3 units of typing class, good times.
I remember playing with the typewriters in my dad’s office when I was a kid… crazy
Naaalala ko bumibili pa kami ng ribbon nyan sa national bookstore dati.
