We have cleaned the machine, oiled the strikers and installed a new ink ribbon. Overall a very nice machine!

The typewriter works well, with the exception of the letter "O" that sticks. It does need a new ink ribbon, and the outer steel case shows age staining/discoloration.

Vintage 1950's portable Smith-Corona Super Silent Manual Typewriter w/ Case 5T561513X. Keeps move pretty freely and all the knobs and levers work. Ribbon needs to be replaced. There is no key for the lock on the case. Case is not in the greatest shape. It has dings and marks and is kind of wonky to close, but it does close and stay latched.

This vintage Royal Sabre Portable Manual Typewriter is from the 1970s. The N type bar does not sit flush but does not interfere in operation. The machine works, but some keys are a bit sluggish.

Typewriter is in poor condition. Parts have came apart. Keys dont go back sometimes. Smells like it was in a home with a cigerette smoker. Dusty and dirty too
