I have been unable to find a site where you can download a Smith Corona typewriter manual. However, you can try going to Will Repair Service. They carry manuals of every Smith Corona typewriter ever made, and you should be able to find a manual for your particular typewriter there. I find them to be a very helpful and trustworthy typewriter shop.

YES, SMITH CORONA DOES STILL EXIST!

Best of luck to you! :-)

To switch fonts on this typewriter, you need to change the letter wheel. Unfortunately, there is no practical way to change the letter wheel in the middle of a document.

Smith Corona has a carrier lock on the right side of the typewriter look for a red or blue part on the right side of the ribbon carrier and flip it back by pressing on the end of it and see if it unlocks.

the lift of tape has a dull side and a bright side make sure the dull side is toward the paper then press and hold the code key and the = key to reset the typewriter also see page 6 in the owners manual
