Seeking information on Corona Four

I bought [url=<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/T-EPrntPEyepepAfAgGCkfazkvIbN4TKdBAoaJlCXxk?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-e0U7QgdZzQM/V0C_KLqDEbI/AAAAAAAAM7o/UsKy-P76k50mfwtw-rom6eqUjTZs2Ao6ACCo/s800/CoronaFour1.JPG" height="590" width="800" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/106689200698857676145/DropBox?authuser=0&feat=embedwebsite">Drop Box</a></td></tr></table>]this[/url] recently and love it. It was mentioned in a previous post, but I didn't find out what I wanted, which is more about this model. There's very little on them in the Web. I looked closer at my sheets and discovered that the "o" key sometimes cuts a hole in the paper; so much so, that I'm using three sheets when typing. I may even have to start using linen paper. The little I have read seems to dismiss it as unsuited for heavy typing. However, I like it so much that I wouldn't hesitate to use it for, say, writing a novel (admittedly, my Underwood Rhythm Touch would be better for that). I love the spacious, yellowed metal-ringed keys, its compactness and simplicity. It"s great just to look at. Any information or comments appreciated.

Re: Seeking information on Corona Four

It might have a hard platen, which would need to be sent off to be re-sleeeved with new rubber. The feet should be replaced if they're cracked and flattened. Typewriter Man, from England, has replacement feet. I have a black one very much like yours. Doesn't type as nice as newer machines but they're serviceable, and lovely to look at.
