Cool video! I like how you film it from different angles and enjoyed the way you narrated the tyepwriter video with the actual typewriter. I guess that wouldn't be narration. captioning perhaps?
I've encountered a couple of these machines over here in Canada, and had one in my collection for quite a while. As far as I know, they are from the earliy eighties, or perhaps the very late seventies, and I notice that yours is somewhat different in design towards decals, trim, and subtle component differences. Take for example the white rubber under the type slugs, and the label on the basket cover. On NA models, it's on the right side and has the (I) symbol.
Wow your videos are getting really professional! we have a 70s electric typewriter but it doesn't work any more :( I was always fascinated with the belt and motor system
I remember using an electric typewriter like this one in 1993 at school, once you make a mistake you can't just press the backspace key and retype your work unless you typewriter has eraser fluid in it, assuming it even supports such a feature. Didn't you have a video about an electronic typewriter on your channel page at one point? I like the new introduction to your video, i assume we'll be seeing that on all your new videos for this year, correct?
This typewriter has no erase feature. You can use that white fluid that comes in bottles, that's what the previous owners did, the whole mechanism was full with it. That's why it needed so much cleaning.
I do have a video about an Olivetti electronic typewriter up.
We'll see for how long I'm going to use this... it might have some other ideas one day :)
I remember practising touch-typing as a pupil on one of these machines. Must have been around 1977, when I was in 6th or 7th grade. My parents had that machine bought just some years earlier, for use in their home office. The keyboard has a wonderful tactile feeling while typing on it. You could literally feel the key caps retreat gently under your fingertips, when pressed them down to the release point. Not even the heavy and solid first generation PC keyboards could ever cope with that.
you have great typing skills and very nice video to very artistic made.
i think i have an old Olympia but i think mine is from the mid 60s rather the the 80s but it dont get very much use becouse i do most of my writing on the computer but if i had the time and patience i wold propobly write a short book on it.
Das ist ein sehr gut Schreibmacsine.

Well, why it needs a motor?

It's an electrically supported mechanism. You don't have to hit the keys that hard anymore, because the motor is doing that for you.
