Acquired 1954 Smith-Corona Silent Typewriter by Smith Corona, Inc. (Goodwill)
Serial Number: 5A 458864
Pica No. 1 typeface; 6 lines/vertical inch
American No. 20A keyboard
1954 Smith-Corona Silent typewriter in brown with green keys and a gray spacebar sitting on a wooden table next to a green coffee mug and a small winter skating scene built of LEGO.

Fifteen minutes of tinkering and this machine is imminently usable. It’ll take about a half day to clean up properly, but this is well on its way to its former glory. I should be able to turn this $25 find into a proper $350 work-a-day typewriter.

The good part of 50 mile per hour sustained winds in Southern California today is that I don’t need to break out the compressed air to blow it out. ️
