Description:
Had to replace the entire carriage and escapement mechanisms, not to mention re-forming and replacing other parts. This machine was being sold for parts when I bought it, so I just knew it had to be saved. The platen is in bad shape, but the machine works now.

After finding a Smith-Corona Coronet 12 at a curb-side (in Winter while walking the dog) I carried it home; after it thawed out and started coming back to life I was hooked. My interest in this hobby lead to taking two parts typewriters to create one good unit. This typewriter aliment is (pretty much) in-curable!
