Description:
Craigslist purchase. Needs a drawstring and a serious cleaning.
UPDATE: I really wanted to take this on an upcoming trip, but time was slipping away. So I gave in and took it to MTE for repair. Bill had it done in a day and it's a great little machine.
Please excuse the horrible phone pics. I am without a digital rig at the moment.

Just a guy with a love for writing and vintage machinery. Naturally, I ended up here.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Skyriter on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Skyriter By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
