The case unlock had not been refined yet leading to the typewriter being able to randomly break free from it's case.
They skimped out on the drawstring, making any sudden jerking movements dangerous to the typewriter, something pretty bad for a portable. They're made with thin, cheap metal on which is a crackle paint that is normally very brittle over only a couple decades. They're ok to type on, but they're not great even compared to a normal Corona Portable. I have 2 clippers and I would very much tend to disagree. Buy some cheap ones in stores (don't be in a rush), figure out what you like (full size, large, small, and ultracompact portables, and what you like looking at on your desk and on your shelf. Some people don't like it, but I like extremely compact typewriters because the keystroke is hard at first but gives way in Falls with weight. The baby is absolutely stripped for features, but the keystroke is absolutely incredible. My Lettera is very great in all ways although less reliable than my Olympia. If I had to have one of my typewriters and throw away the rest, I would be between my Lettera 33 and my Hermes baby from 1938. My Oliver number 3 is wonderful in many ways, but the lack of a backspace key, ribbon color functions, tab functions, and even a place to sit your right pinky when you type keeps it from being the machine I use on the regular. Everything about it is nice, but I wouldn't consider it the best like a lot of other people do. I also like my Smith Corona silent from 1945. Otherwise, it is absolute in reliability, includes all the features you will ever need, and is a large portable, so it feels all needs. Each row of keys is just a bit too tall compared to the row in front and I don't like typing on it. However the keyboard is set it to high aslant for my liking. The mechanisms have a longer throw and a wonderfully loose but very well-constructed mechanical weight and feel to them. Of course, there are generally more reliable and probably generally better typewriters than others.įor example, my Olympia sm9 is a wonderful machine but I can't get used to it. Typewriters are all different all different ways.
