1960 Smith Corona Electric Portable 5TE

1960 Smith Corona Electric 5TE

The Smith Corona Electric Portable is a great model of typewriter for those looking for a typewriter that is easy on the fingers. Most like a computer keyboard, it has a very easy flow and only requires the lightest touch. There is some wear on the exterior and the performance, while good, not at the level that is common for a 5TE. As such, I've adjusted the price. That being said, it is still a great typewriter!

EXTERIOR + CASE: The case is missing the handle but is still solid and in good condition for storage. The exterior of this 5TE does have a dent on the cover and chipping around the body. It still looks good but has noticeable exterior wear.

PERFORMANCE: This has an easy flow and is good for extensive writing or for those with petite hands or prefer the lighter touch. Tabs, margin release all work. The auto repeat on the "x" is working. The motor is a bit louder than usual and I recommend this for a steady pace of typing. I didn't find the flow suitable for fast typing. Watch my full review in the demo video.
