Description:
Purchased to match the new kitchen island color. When repaired, this machine will be the Kitchen Typewriter, filling out recipe cards and shopping lists, as well as early morning typing sessions while the rest of the family is in the front of the house, asleep. That being said, the re-forming of the 'V' & 'B' keybars will be interesting/entertaining/just a bit scarier that the cleaning of the case. Which I plan on doing with diluted Scrubbing Bubbles, as per here: https://myoldtypewriter.com/2019/04/07/make-mine-pink-smith-corona-super-sweet/
Photos will be posted when done.

I very much enjoy end of line hyphens.
My collection is used. Rotate through the whole stable on a regular basis.
Letter writing is the new blogging.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Silent Super on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Silent Super By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
