Description:
This typewriter was probably stored somewhere under the roof for many years, so the asphalt adhesive for sound insulation melted and glued the whole machine from the inside. After many days of cleaning, he got a second chance. Unfortunately, I do not have an original or at least compatible ribbon.

Historical typewriters, cameras, sewing machines, ... - all beautiful things, that work only on the basis of human skill and ability. Therefore, they deserve our attention and respect. I do not want to let those inventions that pushed us forward much faster than we were prepared, them disappear in this way.
Lives in Michalovce, Slovakia. Proud father of two children. Started collecting in March 2020. More a hunter than a collector or restorer. But determined to change it and bring the machines to a new life. Thank you in advance for any of your advice and help. (English is not my strong side, so I use Uncle Google's help. Correct me anytime).
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Corona Zephyr on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Corona Serial Number page and the Corona Zephyr By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
