Pilot Automac (HAT-3SR) Video Review

Here is my (updated) video on the Automac. I try to cover its history and took it apart as far as I felt comfortable. Anyway please let me know if you see anything that needs correcting -
I am going to make it public Monday morning, but you can access it from this link until its published. Thanks to everyone for the help on this one.

Great video as usual!

The grip can easily be taken apart to show the impressive spring. The clip is removable, although sliding it out is a bit tedious so I left it in place.

Edit: here are my date codes: a clear 1805, some traces that could be compatible with 1803 and a possible 1510 (or 1519 :grimacing:) so all are in line with your interpretation.

Great video! Been waiting for this one.

I did notice you mislabeled the Korean pencil though. The pencil is called ‘Provision’ and the company is ‘Morning Glory.’ I think you switched them.

Dang - ok thank you!

the audio is still wrong, but I’ll fix it on the closed captions.

Thank you!

Here’s a better one (I forgot to remove the sliding part in the first one).

Thank you!

“Photo: metal_punching_grip” - is this OK or would you prefer something else?

I plan to just drop your image in there so I wont have to redo everything - (closed captions, etc.)


Here’s what I’m editing in for a correction/update

No. On ran out of points experimenting on how to make it work. It will probably be my next one.
Thanks for checking
