I have 4 electrics. 2 Scm typebar manual return,one power return ,and I have the big industrial Underwood model with power return. So helpful when arthritis flares up. A very fine video Joe 👍 quite enjoyable ☺️
Thank you for liking my post about downgrade technology really meant alot. So let me return the fabure
What a beauty 😍
I enjoy typing on my Electra 120, and my Coronamatic 2500, except when I want less noise while I think about what to write.😂
Two Gates Polyflex 3M315 v-belts in polyurethane work pretty well as replacements in the Electra 120.
On my SCM Electra 120, the original front belt is 310 mm long, and the rear one is 320 mm long. I figure the two 3M315 belts make the middle pulley turn a little faster than the original belts.

Are you certain the copy set relies on slipping? My observation is that it's a kind of continuously variable transmission. When tension is increased, the main drive belt is forced into a smaller radius, deeper into the pulley, and since the insides of the primary and secondary pulleys are connected and free to slide back and forth, that pinches the secondary belt and causes it to move into a larger radius. Take a close look and see if that looks right to you. It is possible with the vee belts to get slower speeds by increasing the range of the transmission. The trouble is that the range can exceed width of the belt and it'll get sucked into the pulley and jam. The system is really clever! Take a second look at it.
Very nice office. I liked it. The electric typewriter shown looks like a cake.
I am not a electric person.
Thank you, Joe! ❤.
Thank you Joe, another good video, here are some electrics too, even the in europe rare to get SCM . Yes, the carriage slamming is anoying me and my dest too. In trying to reduce mechanical stress i support the return a bit with the right hand, so that the hard stoping is a bit softer. For fast touchtyping these things are the weapon of choice.
my most used typer is my Penncrest Concord 10 (SCM) machine.
Type bar electrics is the only way I can truly touch type and still use vintage machines. I still want a Hermes 10.
I have a Smith Corona Electra 110 and really enjoy it!
Good one again. I actually learned typing on a turquoise Smith Corona electric in the early sixties. My mother upgraded from her Underwood(?) portable (it came with and in a case). Included was a touch typing course on LP records and a dictation sized printed notebook. I learned to type in a couple of weeks, except the numeral row keys! My first personal typewriter was, of course, an SCM Office Electric bought new at a typewriter store in 1976 or 1978. In many ways it is my favorite typewriter today. Imagine all the time and money spent on my grail search essentially to learn I already had my grail. Fun through, and I do enjoy typing on most of the others.
I trust you are well and happy and enjoying your retirement,
All best.
Thank you, Joe!
