Description:
This machine has a broken frame on the front, and I had to bend the channel the space bar runs into or it was jamming on the right side. The carriage bearings fell out of place but has been returned to normal. The machine works pretty well after some basic fixes. It is a PICA machine and came with someones cleaning kit in a Remington box. With three sets of Smith Corona standard spools. I have quite a fondness for Smith Corona/ LC Smith ball bearing standards. The keys just type really smoothly compared to the normal mechanism. It just seems every time I get a Smith Corona/ LC Smith standard they always have problems.

I just collect typewriters and adding machines. I like to work on them and get them up and running again.
