I would like to buy the sublever assembly of the X key of a Smith-Corona Silent (4s, 1945).

I have released the sublever from the fulcrum, but I don't know how to unhook that steel wire link from it. How can I do that? It seems too narrow to tilt it left-right to unhook it.

Thanks Phil! That's what I did. I didn't find that stud, but used something similar, screwed it in there and glued it with JB Weld. I will get another plate anyway among other parts for other typewriters of mine.Another question here instead of opening a new thread. I would like to remove the rack at the back with the two margin stops. How can I do that? removing the two screws at the edges seems not to be enough.

I found at Xavier's a PDF of Ames' on Corona Portables. There in one of its pages it seems like a simple stud used for properly positioning the tray on the carriage without any screws. It seems like having no other use since all works fine without it. But I will get another tray, just to have it perfect (and in case I am missing something not that obvious).

The stud under the right side of the paper feed of my Smith Corona Silent, came off. Everything seems to be working, but should I replace it with something? Is it going to cause any problems? It seems to be some sort of guide for attaching it on the carriage bed. Should I be worried?

Perhaps this video might help.
It is for No 5, but they share the same draw band, carriage and main spring scheme.

I just noticed that the donation icon is missing through all of his videos. Am I missing something here? I would like to treat the man a beer for what I have been offered abundantly through his videos.
