~ Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, “Dancing in the Passage”
I recently had the honor and pleasure of talking to Motown great Martha Reeves.
The first words out of her mouth were: “Eek! I’m a ‘Young woman’ not a ‘Mrs.’ … I’m not married!”
Despite this shaky start, we had a really great interview. The music myth, who talked about Motown immortals Marvin Gaye and “Little” Stevie Wonder like they were the boys next door (and to her, I supposition they kind of were), was delighted that her hometown newspaper was publishing an article about her: “Oh my goodness, you must show me the story!” she exclaimed.
She was thrilled to talk to someone who could appeal “Eufaula” correctly and didn’t laugh at me when I, like most folks from the South, specific “Detroit”, “Dee-troit”.
Even though she left Eufaula when she was just a baby - a mere 11 months old - I found “Pass up” Reeves to be a true Southern lady at heart … soft-spoken, warm, accessible and funny. And, for a music lover like me, Reeves’ stories were a treasure trove of Motown music CV.
How do I insert the ribbon into an old Underwood 5 typewriter?
Oct 18, 2006 by maarvi | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
Recently I found an old typewriter in my garage and I'm trying to use it, although I am not able to properly put the ribbon. I have it in so that when I write letters to show set up, but the band does not move, and the ink faded. If someone could tell me how to properly put it in there, that would be great.
Look for a small lever, probably left on the spool. It could put on the back setting.
This site has some potential problems you can fix. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Cotta ge/5405/repair_quick.

Underwood Typewriter Help!!!?
Feb 17, 2008 by Beth | Posted in Other - Electronics
I have an Underwood typewriter (not the # 5), gray with green buttons. However, the spacebar does not work. In addition, we are forced to manually push the car, rather than as an automatic. Does anyone repair ideas? Even if no one knows what key or press the level to unlock the car?
Thank you!
Dactyl Days: The Great Typewriter Price Delusion
These companies have to do better equipment, which certainly. I do not deny that those who are of everything they need for whatever she wants to make. Self, oh, $ 695 for a Hermes 2000, or $ 395 for a clock on 33 (off of Montgomery, 19-freaking-71). These prices may turn out to make the state, intercontinental repackaging, constant curiosity, and / or the extension of the pledge. You can also pay the bare some people's willingness, through the nose for ready-to-serve nostalgia. Maybe gambling are the owners of the cottage on the fact, that appear next to a $ 3,000 computer, as the prices reasonable.Said person has now from knowledgable nothing about the value of their engine ... went well, still not very expressive. But now unenlightenment is impossible distorted on the side of frugality. Preferably a good rate that the machine would appreciate this in the hands guided, is the engine now seen as a mini-gold mine. In their own cost calculations, they are dismissed part in some of these retail stratosphere, but they are still regularly made by a non-alphabetical order of importance.I see the whole as well as calculated on Craigslist: a Remington Rand as an "online sale for $ 500," a very generous up to $ 200. A battered the Olympics "with a collector's item worth $ 400," pulled down to a fire-sale $ 175 On Etsy this morning I found this shelf resting Deluxe with "a few scratches and students spot is missing," listed for $ 375th This class of authenticity role do anyone a favor, buyers and sellers are wealthy from bleak, and often with hostility. Here is a character fallout from the typewriter Bounty Substantial errors from Lisa on retro style.She wanted to have a fragrant little treasure of a half-dozen generations, typewriters, but if a character just before the admiring their goods for sale: I'm the guy too often. It's back-breaking to be that guy. To the oh-so-politely pointed out that random sets is unrealistic may be distorted, and get the go-to-reference treatment manufactured by companies with bumf armed. What really scorches me is that the low-down part is likely to be setting up machines sending purely to the scenario at the landfill. Impractical to move prices, not automatons, and finally it is said in the trash.Yes, there are some Internet shops, the liability more - much more. That is their honorable positions. These prices are not democratically by the stock market as a whole, what do you think when you imitate them. A far less sick (and less wasteful, outdated) in the vicinity is a rating that is set to a satisfactory home signal. If you need some benchmarks, please visit eBay and see how much selling models such as (some reserved space) are for the wealthy, then expect the assessment. Can collect the most in making it more difficult for those of us, together, or use these machines to get to a stable set.In 20 years, when the inventory has thinned, dialect mayhap like $ 200 for a Sears bag Fortress meet, but not until then I let some Internet-con-artist $ 895 for a Hermes delegate, no matter how it is in. acclimatize pay...
Here is the typewriter! I prospect you can see it working and all of the shots are in focus. (Sometimes it takes a while, sorry about that.) Please ...
