1950 Smith Corona Silent Serial # 5S261819 1950 Smith Corona Silent typewriter, Serial # 5S261819 Evan Bezeredi's 1950 Smith Corona Silent typewriter. 2018-06-29 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Evan Bezeredi: 1950 Smith Corona Silent Serial # 5S261819 Everything works well, with the exception of the touch selector. Several scuffs on the body accumulated over years of use. Includes some splashed paint (white) around the white stencil dot on the body for ribbon selection. The T, M, and N keys have some wear in the clear top coating.

Includes original ribbon spools and removable tab stops.

I purchased this machine in June of 2018 from a seller in Indiana, USA (The machine is now located in Virginia, USA). Was repaired in 1981 for a "blowout" as indicated by the repair receipt found inside the case.

I work with modern technology during the week while repairing and rejuvenating antiquated technology on the weekend! I'm a small time collector that's more interested in servicing and repairing typewriters than collecting them.
