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.
I enjoy problem solving and puzzles, so naturally fixing I fell in love with fixing and maintaining mid century typewriters. Today, we generally stare at screens throughout the day, but I've found it's very therapeutic to turn off my phone and fix some mechanical machines.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Silent Super on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Silent Super By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
