Typewriter Database is now seeking typewriter collectors who have photos of their collections and serial numbers handy to beta-test the Typewriter Gallery Uploader. If you would like to be among the first intrepid Typewriter Hunters to upload typewriter galleries for your collection and sightings, please leave a comment below indicating you would like to be upgraded to “Typewriter Hunter” status. (make sure you’ve created an account at typewriterdatabase.com first.)
I’d like to thank Richard Polt, who was the first Beta Typewriter Hunter to upload a sighting: a 1919 Century 10!
Welcome, Typewriter Hunter! (:
Hi! I’d like to be able to post photos and info for the machines in my collection. I followed the sign-up instructions and everything appears to be in order. My username is TypesMcGilicuddy.
Thank you in advance. The Typewriter Database is an incredible resource.
Welcome, Typewriter Hunter! (:
Not sure if this is relevant but I have a Remington Noiseless with tab whose serial number is not on your database.
If you would like the info it is serial no X318924 under US patent 1561450. Condition ripe for cleaning/restoration/renovation, or as display piece. Some parts working.
Am in the UK.
Only relevant if you add it to the database, which you can do if you join and become a Typewriter Hunter. By serial number, that is a Noiseless Standard, 1934.
Hello Munk! I’ve opened an account and would like to add my humble 6 typewriters to the database please. Username is KY671. I’d like to be a Hunter.
Ta very much as we say here in Yorkshire!
Welcome, Typewriter Hunter! (:
Deleted your other account, BTW (:
Thanks Munk. Had some operator error but because it’s not a typewriter I couldn’t see what I’d done wrong!!
Is there a reason why I can’t get an avatar uploaded? Trying to use jpg.
Cheers.
Kelvin
Make the image around 1000px wide/tall. Image upload problems are always because the image is too big.

Your mission will be to meet us here and try out some machines to see which you like:

Aug 14, 2024. Hello Mr. Munk.
I have a royal quiet deluxe (with case) serial number 1101470R.
I’ve had it for about 20 years and got it because it reminded me of the typewriter my grandfather used. It hasn’t seen the light of day in all this time but today I opened it and immediately went to research it and came across your mighty resource. I just wanted to put in the name, Royal quiet deluxe and the serial number on your resource site and really couldn’t find any place to put those two simple things. What am I missing intro your site? I was just looking for information. Please advise. Thank you so much.

Dunno what to tell you except maybe try a different email. I can’t upgrade you unless the system has accepted you as a valid user via the email validation.
I’ve tried multiple different email addresses (all non-gmail) and I’ve never received anything. Is it at all possible to have the validation email resent?
I’ve resent the validation email to your icloud account.

Hello! Username: Thistlebright
Just created an account, and would love to be able to make a gallery of our typewriter collection (25 so far) here on the database.
I spent all day yesterday doing the photography, and all day today sizing the photos to smaller than 1000 pixels each way.
Excited to join the TD – we have some pretty cool models / typefaces to share!
Welcome, Typewriter Hunter! (:
Hi there! I am a newly-minted TH, and I was happily uploading typewriters into new galleries today, and suddenly I am unable to upload the photos for my next gallery.
The photos have already been sized to your specifications, so it’s not that. I searched the FAQ and couldn’t find anything that said there was a limit to how many galleries you could make in a day.
IS there a limit? I’ve tried closing and reopening the site, and logging off/on again – still nothing. I’ve tried uploading one photo at a time instead of batching them. No joy.
I couldn’t find any “contact us” on the website, which is why I’m sending you this message here. Apologies if this isn’t the way.
There is no limit to number of galleries per day. The only advice I have is to double-check your images. Other than that, it’s not possible for me to diagnose specific uploading issues.
Hi! I’ve just joined TWDB and supported this great project on Patreon. I have used TWDB so many times, that finally I have decided to contribute!
I would like to ask to upgrade my membership – I want to add my machines (currently around 30) to TWDB.

Welcome, Typewriter Hunter! (:
Hello, me again. Just wanted to let you know that you might want to ask your IT person to check the code on the TD. My husband was looking at the code on the photo upload page, and it says it’s looking for .PNG and .gif instead of .jpg (which is the format all my existing gallery photos are in). I have tried deleting the gallery and uploading photos that are 600 pixels (much smaller than the stated limit) and also tried changing a photo to a .PNG file and – no dice. I also tried deleting all my cookies and refreshing everything from my side, on my computer, and it’s still not working, so I can only assume there’s something wrong on the server side. I am just really excited to get my collection on the database, and the first six I created worked so smoothly… and now I am unable to create another one successfully, using the same exact methods. I understand that you are not an IT person, but you must have one if you are curating a database online, so maybe you could just ask them to check things out? If I had not created six galleries successfully already, I would assume this was my fault, but… thanks for any help you can offer.
The uploader works perfectly fine with JPGs, so I have no idea what that’s about. I think the telling issue is that your problem affects only you. I tested it, and other people are uploading galleries without issues, so it simply cannot be a server-side issue. As a test, try uploading a gallery using the photos you’ve already successfully used on previous galleries. If that works, the problem lies with the other photos that aren’t uploading. It’s *always* an issue with the photos that causes upload problems.
Hello, id like to join tw-hunter gang. Would love to share these fine things.

I tried to sign up as a member of the database to become a hunter. But after a week or two I’ve yet to get a confirmation email.
Check your spam folder, I guess. Don’t know what to tell you if your service rejects the confirmation email, except maybe try a different one.

I would like to obtain some help in finding out more from one of my typewriters, my username is vitokat, I am a bit lost if the typewriter I am looking to catalog/find/hunt data on or even find a home for is accepted as it is An Input/Output typewriter and was part of a much larger IBM setup. I am unable to find the serial number I think its based on an IBM Model B with 180 carriage, it is from 195X and From IBM Toronto Canada The plate on the inside states Transmitting Typewriter 868-B1 Hope to find out more, the only thing I could find online so far is that there is one in a Mining Museum in Australia. It has 2 non standard plugs to connect to larger setup and I have not attempted putting power on the connectors.
Ok, well you’re a Typewriter Hunter now, so enter it as an IBM Model B, and we’ll see if anyone comments with information on it.
