Thanks for your reply. Yes, there is a big difference between italic and cursive (cursive is better, in my opinion). I think Italic was conceived mainly for business correspondance, etc - anyway for short texts. I am a writer, who just switched back to typewriters and, believe me, Italics on 10/20 pages looks in some odd way ..."artificial". The second problem is that my Coronet is AZERTY. I am not a fast typer, but with Coronet I type faster, but with a lot of mistakes. I put a post-it on Q, because I was tired to read on my sheet (I write in Italian) ITQLIQ and CIQO and PIZZQ )))))

Ok. I know they SC Coronet are not pricey, but my question was essentially about the cursive font. On eBay prices for cursive machines are very high.

I have a SC Coronet Super 12. Font Corporate Oblique n.91. Layout AZERTY. I'd like to sell it. It's in good condition. Any idea about the price?

Thanks to everybody. I fixed my problem. I press the dot (.) key (the second, on the right of tab keys row), and carriage goes to the point.

Thanks, but I have AU 40, and tabulation keys are slightly different. I am sorry, I can't add a picture. Please zoom on the pic here. This is exactly my model

Just received it. Everything works fine, but two keys do not work.: Space bar and the key immediately close to it, on the left side. I press the keys and nothing happens. The keys move down, they press the contacts (?) I suppose, but that's all. All the other keys work. The typewriter arrived in its original suitcase, so I really don't know what happened, because seller (eBay) says typewriter, when shipped, was 100% ok. Anyone could help me, please?Thanks!Fulvio
