Description:
An early SMC Electra 120 bought in March of 2026 from a lady in Queensbury, NY. I don't know where it came from before that, but has a sticker from Glens Falls on it, which isn't far from Queensbury. Very dirty and a couple of missing/broken plastic parts and missing a base screw or two, but functioning. What was important to me was that it had the Artistic Script typeface.
A few hours of disassembly and cleaning went a long way on this machine. It had rust in the same places as my Script Galaxie, but nothing crazy.
Back in working order and mostly clean. I hope to get the screws on the base panel replaced and pick up a couple of o rings for the motor.
