Description:
This is a special model to me. The YouTube video that sparked my interest in typing for recreational purposes featured this model. Expounding on the many ways mechanical typewriters can be useful tools in creative writing. Chief among them, their inherent lack of distractions. Followed closely by the musical rhythms they create, a drumbeat urging you forward.

A lifelong tinker. Tearing up toys since the 70âs to see how they work!
A not so talented two finger typer, suddenly thrown into the world of touch typing and typewriter repair by my 1954 Smith-Corona Silent-Super affectionately called Cricket.
