An eBay purchase, it was very dirty and gummy on arrival, but it cleaned up nicely.

In case, I found a price list from Godfrey’s Fix-it Shop (Seattle, WA) dated September 1969 that shows that typewriter repair was $6 to $10.

I'm a novice collector with a very small collection of mostly nonfunctional typewriters. I enjoy tinkering and repairs, so I am slowly but surely putting these typewriters back into service.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Silent Super on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Silent Super By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
