Description:
Elite No. 66 typeface. Purchased via eBay in September 2021. Damaged in transport; was able to reconnect the carriage spring and space bar, but the T typebar has been bent akimbo. Despite that it still has one of the best alignments I've seen on a Smith-Corona ultraportable.
Update, June 2022: The bent typebar has been fixed, plus a few other things. Very nice typer now!
