Great thanks a bunch! Fingers crossed I won't screw it up haha
I'm going to give it a good cleaning and tune up first.
Thanks again.

Hello Everyone,
I have a line on a Smith Corona "Clipper" that is in good condition other than ribbon spooler not working. I'll worry about that later but for now I was just trying to find anything about this typewriter at all online and I can't seem to find any information.
Would anybody have any information on this model? Any links or background information. I'm just trying to get an understanding of what I'm going to be looking at and if it's worth buying. I included the picture down below.
I can't really figure out what the time frame is. Somewhere between the sixties and seventies I'm guessing from the look of it. I haven't seen one other smith-corona with the name plate in the center like that in this style and era.
Any thoughts would be welcome!
Thanks,
Les

Thanks everyone for your awesome answers. I do believe it is the larger metal ones. I posted a picture here for someone to confirm. Would someone happen to have a video link or something to view how to use the universal ribbon on the original spools? How to wind it on I guess?
Let me know if the picture doesn't show.

Hello everyone,
I'm the proud new owner of a Smith Corona 88 secretarial and I am looking for some information about ribbon. Is generic ribbon that has the same size spool fine or are there some considerations outside of the obvious that I need to pay attention to?
I see at my local Staples I can get ribbon for $9.99 CDN but I want to make sure it's going to work before I buy it.
Any help you can provide would be awesome :-)
Also, if there are any other smith-corona 88 secretarial owners out there let me know!
Les
