Lucky you! That's a really beautiful typewriter. I was fortunate enough to try the action on one of these '30s-40s Smith Coronas (I purchased a Clipper) and I found it absolutely lovely to use. They are quite special.
Hey, welcome to flat top heaven and the Harley of typewriters (if I may make such a comparison). Nothing too fancy, but they work well and just keep on going. Your feed rollers might have flat spots?

ReplyDeleteVery lucky! You know, that's the model favored by the Unibomber (his sold for something around $22k)

ReplyDeleteWow that's a great find! Love those and have not had a crack at one.
ReplyDeleteThey are a great machine. I feel like some 1930s Insurance Investigator whenever I use mine. Congrats!
