Typewriter Repairman, Duane Jensen, Passing... RIP
Sad news of the passing of typewriter repairman, Duane Jensen, here in the USA.
Over the past 10-12 years or so, Duane has posted up hundreds of videos on YouTube of his repairs of the machines we all love so much.
RIP, Duane.
Here is an on-line article about Duane and his efforts with typewriters :

Sad news indeed. Apart from being interesting, I found watching Duane's videos relaxing. They had a certain rhythm, a flow—the sequence of his actions, accompanied by his pleasant voice became more than a source of information to me. I will certainly miss him.

Sad news. His videos helped me on several occasions. He also ripped the escapement out of a Futura for transplanting into one of my Futuras.

For those so inclined to want to stuff the "tip jar" in memory for Duane Jensen's family one more time, a GoFundMe page has been set up by a fellow typewriter collector and friend.

On YouTube, a note appears that all of Duane's videos will be "archived".
Not sure what that means and/or if the videos will still be available for viewing and saving in the future.
I went to his YouTube feed and saved many of his clips to my hard-drive. Especially for machines in my collection.
