Description:
One quarter of the keys are severely yellowed with age. Types very well. No nonsense machine that is easily portable. Don't miss not having tabulator function. Needed new feet and new bumpers. A few other tweaks and adjustments all pretty minor. I will probably live with the yellow keys...seems pretty common problem with these units.

Retired. Have been a Photography geek for many years...old school film. Also have been an audiophile and have been collecting vinyl before it became fashionable. Accidently(?) began collecting typewriters in the early1980's...I had four by 2006. After I inherited my mothers Hermes 3000 in 2017 my interest really took off and now I have 28 typewriters in total. The majority of my collection are Smith Corona's largely because they are plentiful, easy to work on and are very good typers.
