Description:
Excited to share the first typewriter I've owned. It was a recent eBay purchase at a decent price. The typewriter is in good working condition. It came with the case, which is also in decent condition, though some of the covering is delaminating. The paint and lettering are in very good condition. There are some scratches in the rear adjacent to where the case anchor brackets are. The ribbon spool doesn't rewind to the left consistently. I believe it's just some loose linkage movements that just need a bit of attention. It does rewind to the right just fine. The platen is pretty well used. Other than that, all the lever, key, and carriage movements are great!

I am a mechanical engineer, who likes vintage mechanical things, especially mechanical clocks and weather instruments. As a kid in the early 1980s, I had an old Sears manual typewriter that my mother let me use and had good memories of. Just a few days ago, I got my first typewriter, a Corona Junior (1937), and am hooked. I'm looking at other ones but my wife has her foot on the brakes!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Corona Junior on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Corona Serial Number page and the Corona Junior By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
