Re: The American Gallery

Out of 34 machines, my USA-made ones are a minority with only 6 of them in our home :

Re: The American Gallery

Added another USA-made machine to my collection.

1958 Tower President (made by Smith-Corona for Sears).

It is hard to believe this machine is 64 years old, today.

Re: The American Gallery

My 1959 S-C Model 5TE portable electric.

On my work bench for a couple of weeks to sort out some issues, deep clean and light oiling, and a rehab of the case with dent/hole repairs and a new paint job.  Space bar got a new color as well.

I love how decently fast and responsive this little electric is and am so happy that is still has a manual CR lever and other manual carriage functions.  Best of both worlds, IMHO.

Re: The American Gallery

Another nice case restoration. You are indeed the case master.

Re: The American Gallery

Of course you know not to actually use the handle. 1/2 of those era cases I see have broken handles.

Re: The American Gallery

Case work is very enjoyable & therapeutic and what I dreamed of during the last 10 years in some "cubicle farm" in my previous Corporate life.

I have 2 Olympia "banded" cases in the works right now.


With the S-C case, I was surprised to not see 2 metal pivot pins in the plastic where they rotate in the aluminum housing. 

18.2 lbs of machine inside the case with all plastic handle hardware.
