When I needed a vacuum, I went to a small vacuum repair shop / dealer and bought from them.
When I needed a sewing machine, I went to a small sewing machine repair shop / dealer and bought from them.
End of an era, sure, but we do have choices of what kind of businesses we want to support.
i still got mutiple sewing machine shops near the main street, they all deal with commercial customers, but offer repair services for home grade machines, they sell chink and janome commercial machines.
I fix my own vacuums or just grab any of many I snag at yard sales because a vacuum in every house and workshop is dirt cheap (and since I 3D print adapters are easy).
Manual typewriters are just toys today so if I wanted one I would choose to learn to repair them. Be your own mechanic because once you understand machinery it is all of a piece.
Self and bros arrived years ago to the point we will work on anything by deciding to learn. It's really that simple and a bit of a Zen moment.
End of two eras
no more type writers
no more repair shops
Everything these days is disposable, with panned obsolescence, or manufactured to fail after 5-10 years, or DRM that activates if you try to repair. If things were built to last forever or at least multi generations, or at least a little longer, like they use to, then repair shops have enough business to keep the doors open.
I'd love nothing more than to see his financial breakdown. How much of his apparently unlimited income is derived from youtube, and how much from doing work. And how much from product endorsement which he rarely admits, but it seems clear that a lot of the crap that he gets and uses once is given to him for exposure. Like this garbage mini excavator in the last video. Something something my friend is thinking about buying one so I bought one.
Don't get me wrong. I'm amazed at his success and wish him well. I'm just curious as to how he works his financial magic.
Any idea where are the schematics of these machines stored? I really believe there should be some sort of library where this information is saved not just as part of historical records but "just in case".

I can only think of top secret government sites e.g. kremlin, MOD
