Old brother manual typewriter

The keys on a typewriter are attached to metal arms that control the type bars. These strike the inked ribbon and leave an imprint on the paper. Sometimes when you type too fast the get stuck together.

No worries. Simply tap each bar down one at a time. The type bars have a type HEAD on the top. This is the actual embossed letter or symbol. Each typehead has at least two letters or symbols on it. Uppercase and lowercase letters are considered individual symbols.

Each click represents one-half of a line. The roller release removes this and allows the roller to turn freely. Copy paper had an inked sheet on the back of it so that when you typed, it would create an identical copy.

The touch selector increases or decreases how hard the type bars strike the paper. There are certainly more parts of a typewriter to discuss, but hopefully, this will help you get started. It will be out tomorrow. Please be patient as I get out blog posts as fast as I can so that you have a good resource for all your typing questions. While they may not be specific to your typewriter, as we find user manuals we are scanning them because we know it is a helpful resource no matter what you are using.

In the meantime, please feel free to contact us with any questions you have or send us a message on Facebook. Thanks for the suggestion. I have some catching up to do on posts! A group of seasoned typewriter collectors were once polled for their opinions regarding the rarity and desirability of many collectible typewriters. Since these two factors are key elements in determining the value of a typewriter, I thought I would present it here. This may be the best formula to determine a particular typewriter's importance as a collectible.

Typewriters do not change hands often enough to establish price lists or a reliable value guide. As the late typewriter collector and author, Paul Lippman often said, "trying to place a value on a typewriter is like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall". Typewriters that were omitted on the original list have been added. It is based on a scale of 0 - 10 with 10 being the best.
