I have acquired two 50's Smith Corona Silent Supers. One has a key broken off and the other has a type slug broken off. Is there a way to replace the keys and slugs? I've searched this forum, the internet and YouTube to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve been looking at purchasing a Hermès 3000 and the prices online (eBay) are high. For the prices they are asking I could get a fully restored one from Gramercy Typewriters in New York. Is it worth buying a fully restored machine or gambling on eBay?

I currently have the 1952 Smith Corona Silent and the 1946 Smith Corona Clipper. Both are a joy to write on. I am contemplating the purchase of a Hermès 3000. I wanted to get the opinions of folks on here. Is there a big difference that I will notice between the Smith Corona’s and the Hermès and what are the best years (if any) for the Hermès. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Very well put! I’m enjoying typing on both! The font on the 52 is smaller than the 47 which has a larger font, but both are beautiful machines!

Hello,
Newbie here. I recently purchased a 1952 Smith Corona Silent and love it! Having caught the typewriter bug and loving things from the 40's I purchased a 1947 Smith Corona Sterling. Both are incredible machines! Love the glass keys on the 1947. I did miss the page gauge on the 1947, so I measured where they were on the 1952 and put a tiny dot with a black Sharpie on the chrome roller of the 1947 at the end of the platen and now I have a page gauge!
Curious to know what people think of the 1947 vs. the 1952 or the 40's vs. 50's models? Both are great machines and I love writing on them.
