How many typewriters do you have to restore to reach this level of expertise? So many components! So many screws! So many ways to get it wrong! Lovely work. Also the typeface on this model is gorgeous.

I am in awe of the skilled it takes to break down and reassemble something of this complexity. But then, when I think of the people who engineered this device originally, in an age before computer aided drawings, when everything had to be done with paper and pencil. I can just imagine the complexity of the patent drawings alone. I’m just amazed at what it took to conceive, design, build, and now restore something like this. My hat is off to you!

Now THIS is a restoration video. Not that other BS of everything from a viking axe to a Hot Wheels Hummer that somehow aged exactly the same way. Well done sir. Great work and result.
@NapierNimbus
Wonderful job. Appreciate the natural sounds with no music during the restoration.

I never expected a random video I watched last year to come in handy, but this video will be very important to me soon. I acquired one of these machines yesterday, and I am excited to restore it. Thank you for this video <3

Nice! Part of the skill of restoration is to find items in the right condition to restore. You chose this one well, with good paintwork with a nice (not too far gone) patina. The end result is a beautiful item that still shows age, but with clean mechanical parts. Not over-restored!

I just found my first Oliver typewriter. I’d love to restore it but after watching this amazing tutorial ( I know I’d lose by step three lol. Fun to watch ( I'm going to keep watching! ) again and again and again!
@georgebrown8312
That is definitely a unique typewriter indeed. I have never seen one like that before. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Super excellent work.
@williamliebbe6323
Wow, that was satisfying... and only had to break out the wire wheel once! Makes me miss my old Olivers
@jonvincentmusic
Nice to see something different. There's a limit to how many knives, Tonka toys and coffee-makers I can get excited about. Liked and sub'd.
@rmart8827
I like that you kept the original paint and just cleaned it up. Great work🙌🏼.

Wonderfil work, now if i could only find someone as talented to work on my vintage typewriter and my ibm selectype ii. You are very talented.
@bonzomcduffy8336
I'm so jealous of people who can take apart and put together machines and not totally screw it up.
@CrustyRestorations
That is some meticulous work, great resto job 👍
@giuseppedemaria5363
Pezzi originali e vernice anche, ottimo restauro, complimenti 😅
@au-delart4449
wouaaahhhh ! merveilleux travail ! félicitations bravo !
@broomhandle3700
Im trying to follow this to disassemble an Oliver 5 of my own. I'm surprised to see that the Oliver paint job can survive the degreaser. It certainly makes cleaning the thing up look easy when you can just blast all the parts with the same can.
@davidgould5708
More complicated than a suisse watch! Love it.
@brennanlangless8912
Definitely a unique look and letter key mechanism for sure
