Description:
Nice project, just needs cleaning and oiling. Update 3/23/2022, I sold this machine to a street performer (poetry, etc.) from Chicago named Kay. She also bought a Remington from me, but this is her first Smith~Corona, as she's a collector too.

After finding a Smith-Corona Coronet 12 at a curb-side (in Winter while walking the dog) I carried it home; after it thawed out and started coming back to life I was hooked. My interest in this hobby lead to taking two parts typewriters to create one good unit. This typewriter aliment is (pretty much) in-curable!
