Description:
Smith Corona Silent Super. This was a goodwill online purchase. I bought it for almost nothing, because it needed a bit of work. Some of the keys were detached, there were oil stains on the front/sides/back of this typewriter. It was in rough condition, but it was nothing a bit of simple green couldn't fix. See the photos for the results!

I'm a software engineer in the Chicagoland area. I've been collecting "vintage" vinyl, computers, mechanical keyboards and typewriters since I was a kid. Born into an analog world, but grew up in a digital one.
My wife is a writer and I enjoy problem solving and puzzles, so naturally fixing I fell in love with fixing and maintaining typewriters and she then gets to enjoy all of these machines!
