60's era typebar electric typewriters
There's something really nice about the type bar electric typewriters. They still have that visceral feel of a manual, but the light touch more like a mechanical computer keyboard. And they're amongst the fastest machines ever made. I recently got this SCM Coronet Automatic 12 and while it was a little rougher than I was told it was when I bought it, after geting it back from the repair shop I've been putting it through it's paces. All I can say is, wow, this thing can go.
I've used manual typewriters, and electronic ones, even ones that are mostly word processor, and this has to be one of the best feeling machines I've ever had. I still love my manuals, but this one is definitely going to be spending a lot of time on my desk. At least as long as our power isn't cut off for a few weeks by a hurricane. Ah the joys of living in Florida.
This is my first Smith Corona, and was one of the ones that was on my radar for some time. I kinda' really want to get a series 5 Silent Super too.
Slánte.
