WTB: Smith Corona Silent Keybar + Key for Question Mark (?)
Bought a little black crinkle with the black glossy pinstripes Smith Corona Silent portable. It seems the ? key was purposely removed (Nothing broken). The type bar is there, but the keyboard is missing. Id like to buy one...

I assume these parts are for a 4- and not a 5-series model (both were available in black crinkle with stripes). And that the key index is for a question mark (?) and slash (/) combo?

Is this the model with the "floating shift" written on the shift keys? I'm on the lookout for a local parts machine. I need the left margin stop due to the bell trip (is that what's it's called?) has broken off. If I find one, I'll contact you.

No, the 4-series keys have clear plastic index covers with metal trim whereas the 5-series keys are solid plastic.

Ok Uwe, its the 4 then.
IGotz, It does say floating shift. I would also hate to take a key off that...

My intention in pointing it out was not to just take the key off. "If" one couldn't restore it, it would be a inexpensive option to take a chance with. Looks like a good learning project as well. Yes, I'll keep you in mind.
