1959 Beige Smith Corona 5TE

1956 SMITH CORONA ELECTRIC 5TE

My all-time favorite typewriter model. It arrived in rough condition but we repainted it matching the original color as close as possible. It cleaned up quite well and is ready for active use!

EXTERIOR + CASE: As I mentioned, we repainted this matching to the original color and it looks so much better. The case is in very good condition as well.

PERFORMANCE: EXCELLENT!!! The 5TE is one of the best typewriters in my opinion. It has the popular body shape of the 40s and 50s manual typewriters but has the uber smooth performance of the best of the electrics. I love the feel of the flat keys. It needs only the lightest touch as is as close to the feel of computer keyboard as you'll get. This particular machine typed perfectly!!

Highly recommend for active use. Please watch the demo video for my thoughts and to see it in action.

OPTIONAL 6-MO WARRANTY

With the warranty option, we will cover any mechanical issues NOT mentioned in the listing or demo video and are a result of regular daily use for 6 months starting from the day our tracking information shows that the typewriter was delivered. We recommend taking out your typewriter immediately and testing it for any issues.

This warranty covers any MECHANICAL/OPERATIONAL issues that occur in the course of normal use. Examples: keys sticking/not operational, carriage no longer works due to a broken drawband or other issue, a space bar stops working, the paper feed rollers no longer pull in the paper, etc. It also covers motor failure on electric typewriters. These are some examples of common issues with typewriters and not an exhaustive list of coverage.

 This warranty does NOT cover damage from misuse, food or drink spills, being dropped, or other accidental damage. Damage such as bent or broken parts is not covered (unless it is as a result of shipping). It also does not cover water damage or anything that arises out of an accident or improper use. Paint or exterior damage is not covered either.

 IMPORTANT! Do NOT attempt to repair the typewriter yourself. Any effort at repair on your part VOIDS THIS WARRANTY! This includes opening the bottom or side panels or accessing the mechanics and making adjustments. Please contact us first, and Rob will guide you as to what to do.

We will always attempt to address issues over the phone or email first. After that, if the problem has not been resolved, we'll give you instructions for returning the typewriter for repair. If there are damages as a direct result of shipping, please notify us immediately.
