Description:
Mainspring was broke; the escapement rack bent; bell trip arm deformed; wrong tension springs on opposing carriage release sides; the escapement pinion was riding too high, causing pinion and rack to still touch when carriage release was pressed. The front plate wasn't installed correctly, and it had an Underwood ribbon spool jammed on the RH spool post. After all that was repaired she turned into a pretty good typer. Update 6/6/2022- Sold this typewriter to a gentleman from Illionis who's in the funeral and weddings business.

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!
