I think this one is a bit over the top. They are way too interested in the old typewirters. The artist who destroys the old machines to make robots and sculptures... the "musical group" that plays songs on old typrwriters... all the people who decry modern digital tech, but then create internet pages that save the old typewriter shops. But hey, who am I to criticize them? Some readers really liked the New York Times article on the Bremerton Typewriters Company. And there is a lot of overlap between these typrewriter fanatics and the many shades of ham radio fanaticism (boatanchor-oligists, I'm looking at you!) So here (above) is the full movie.
One personal note: My paternal grandmother was part of that original typewriter revolution - she remained proud all of her life of hwer ability to use that machine. She kept her own typewriter in her house all of her life. And she used it.
There are a LOT of YouTube videos about old typewriters and workshops that service them. Here is one about the last typewriter shop in Melbourne, Australia:
