I never realised you you had a Vimeo channel – I’ll check out your other videos. Right here, you have done what I was thinking of doing with my burgundy SM4. Nice one!
Absolutely. Uploads are less troublesome too. A far more civilized, less frantic place altogether! I use both, mostly because a video gets more traffic on the ‘Tube – which is generally one of the reasons for my making them.
I bought it from a random Pennsylvania antique shop. It wasn’t Goodwill cheap, but the price was right. There was a bit of dust in it and the ribbon was dry, but I’m pretty sure this SM2 wasn’t heavily used in its lifetime. Nothing a little elbow grease and oil couldn’t fix.

Yep. I don’t always make videos, but when I do, I prefer Vimeo.
Plus, I just like the way the embedded player looks on my website. Much cleaner than YouTube, I think.

That is a sharp machine and a great video. I love the chromed logo on the paper table. It’s odd seeing an Olympia in a square case.
