Description:
I cleaned this typewriter for a local community arts space and reattached a sprung clevis/spring linkage.
Like my 1938 Corona Sterling, this typewriter makes a twanging hum while typing.
"Floating" segment shift.
Serial number is located under ribbon cover near right spool.

I'm a novice collector with a very small collection of mostly nonfunctional typewriters. I enjoy tinkering and repairs, so I am slowly but surely putting these typewriters back into service.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Sterling on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Sterling By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
