I'm restoring an Old 1920 Corona 3 and I need a new mainspring and platen w/ roller. Any suggestions on where I can aquire these?

Well from the typewriterdatabase.com, the KH was only made for one year. How many do you know exactly were made?

There isnt much of a difference between your woodstock and mine. Mine's a 1936 No.5. The big difference is the tab tower on the back. A little differece is green shifts and shift locks.

thetypewriterman's suggestion is an excellent one. I've had the mainspring out of a few clocks and they are remarkably similar, but you need to know the size you're after, and given that you said you threw out some of the pieces already, that might make it a little more difficult. As a rule I never throw away broken parts because they might still prove to be invaluable if you end up fabricating something from scratch or want to match it with something similar from another machine.

 

Yeah. I relized that afterwards. The mainsprings are pain to get back in the drum. I have done it once.  Hopefully the clock repairsman will put it in the drum for me if I have a clock store arond where I live.

Looks like a later model Portable #2. As for the colour, the #2 was available in many colours such a red, green, blue, purple, and ivory, like the machine in this topic.

Oh nice I don't really now to much about the 2's....or Rems at all. still new to the brand. I know alot about Royals and Underwoods etc. I was gonna buy a Rem Portable model 5 de luxe model.
