FS: 1930s Corona Sterling (flattop) parts
Hi all, I have a parts machine that I hope might provide some useful bits for others looking to fix your machine. It's a Sterling with the 1C serial number prefix. It is missing the platen and the escapement, but just about everything else is there: mainspring, keys, body panels, type bars, levers, etc. The keys are flat glass with metal rings (just like keychoppers like'em), so a bit different from the later models.
Prices are negotiable! So, let me know if you can use any of these parts.

Hi Echan
What colour is the Flat-Top you're offering for parts. I'm looking for the front body panels for a maroon machine, but black would be acceptable. Thanks,

I try to leave them in better condition than I met them. I am not their first user, nor will I be their last.
