I leave my typewriter to do some research on it, and this is what my wife does while I’m away.

Also, it was built in 1955. It’s older than my dad (by only 1 year, but still).

It’s certainly on the dry side, I’m pretty sure she had to hold each key down for a second to get it as dark as she did.

Oh my goodness, I cannot believe I forgot about this. I even have the gif on my phone!

And I will be buying a new ribbon on the electronic bay soonish.

Actually, that started with old buckling spring computer keyboards from the bad old days, like the IBM Models F and M. My C64 keyboard had switches like that, too...
