Trying to type and video, lol. #typewriter

Here we go, a poem... (transcribed) here we are in the AI age someone types on a paper page ten percent the robots kill bury the human race on a hill yet the billionaires refuse to stop fill the world with AI slop burning down the planet for cash need a giant golden stash they cannot stop they cannot think if they would the odds would shrink just unplug the infernal machine to keep on going is obscene stop them now, go outside look at the moon, feel the tide walk in the garden, smell the rain to continue the AI age is quite insane #typewriter #poem

No oigo no oigo soy de palo (needs a new ribbon for sure). Spanish keyboard!! Only upside down exclamation and question mark... wonder how you do a right side up version. #typewriterrepair #typewriter

Let's give this typewriter a "real world" simulated test 😜#typewriter

Wow, you really have to press hard on these keys to leave a good impression. #typewriter

Lol, couldn't resist the $15 fix it project, even as I have another one coming. 🤣 #typewriterrepair #typewriter

Spanish! #typewriter

Cover removed. Cloud of mosquitos following me around here, I might need to deploy my room-sized mosquito net. #typewriter

Note to self: DESTROY RIBBON AFTER TYPING RANSOM NOTES ON TYPEWRITER. CARBON RIBBON NOT SECURE. 🤪 #typewriter #repair

Popping open the hood completely, lol #typewriter

Aha! Model 71. #selectric #typewriter #repair

Lubricated anywhere metal touches moving metal, as you would a sewing machine, with Triflow lubricant. The space still did not work. Thought I had a bigger issue, then I pushed down on the plastic with the model number, and it moved. It's cracked and warped (age!). Removed the warped plastic, which was in the way of the head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twvEiBN1vKY&feature=youtu.be #typewriter #selectric #repair

Final diagnosis of stuck head issue: this plastic is warped and broken. The question now is: try to reshape this 1971 plastic, or just toss it? 🤔#selectric #repair #typewriter

Second problem: in trying to figure this out, popped out the ribbon and it unspoiled from the center. (New ribbon on order). Should I respool this so I can use the typewriter today. 🤔 #typewriter #repair

Let's see, someone MUST have a video on how to load these.. Aha! Youtube, amazing. Also: THIS RIBBON WAS LOADED WRONG already! This person on YouTube points out it will work but will use too much ribbon... which is why those messages on the carbon are so spaced out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J76PgVbhEW0 #typewriter #selectric #repair

Working! #typewriter #repair #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle

I'm going to have to type this again, messed up a number 1. #typewriter

Dang number 1 key!!!#typewriter #repair

You wouldn't connect your Epson #typewriter to #meshtastic , would you?
