Full Working Condition. Functionally, everything works on this machine, however it feels somewhat fragile when I'm typing on it. I did transfer the main housing plate from a different SCM flat-top (a standard) and had it serviced which included replacing a broken back plate which included upgrading it to include paper support arms and an edge ruler. **This style is one of my absolute favorite builds for Smith Corona (and many typewriters overall)

Though I have had a love for typewriters since I was a kid (in the 90's) I didn't start collecting in earnest until 2020 (having had 3 typewriters still in my posession and several long gone). Since then, I have become an avid collector, focusing primarily on fully functional manual typewriters. After collecting more than 30, I determined that my favorite Brand overall is Smith Corona and I attempt to hone my collection in that direction. Here's the preservation of one of the best storytellers we've ever known!!
