1960 Smith Corona Electra 12, repainted in Pink

A pretty typewriter for all your juicy thoughts, sweet letters, and creative stories. The 5LE is the sister to my favorite 5TE. The LE has a 12" carriage suitable for wider papers. It arrived in rough shape, but Rob took this girl apart and gave her some TLC and a fresh coat of paint, and she is now ready to be introduced into her new life!

EXTERIOR & CASE: One of my favorite typewriter models. Repainted in a light pink. The case is solid and in good condition.

PERFORMANCE:  The 5LE/Electra 12 is a stellar-performing typewriter model! This particular machine gives your fingertips a smooth and easy ride. Please watch the demo video as I give you more tips and feedback on this machine.

Serviced, cleaned, tested, fresh black-red ribbon installed.  Free shipping.

• Dimensions: 12"d x 16" w x 6"h

GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU PURCHASE:

• Note that while we take great care in our packaging, there is always a risk in shipping a vintage item. Please read our shipping policy.
• You are purchasing a VINTAGE item. There are inherent risks with vintage products.
• Free shipping via UPS. Signature is required. We do NOT ship outside the mainland U.S.
• We professionally SERVICE our typewriters. This means we clean and perform minor repairs. We do not replace parts unless otherwise specified in the description. Our typewriters are not refurbished or restored. Please read this blog post that explains the difference.
• Shipping sometimes causes things to get shifted and jiggled around. Most of the time, any impact is minor. That being said, we are happy to help you troubleshoot any issues you might have. If there are any concerns, please contact Rob immediately at hello@jotandtittletypewriters.com.
• We provide a typing demo video for each of our typewriters so you can see how it works before you purchase. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU WATCH THE DEMO VIDEO FIRST! 

OPTIONAL 6-MO WARRANTY

With the warranty option, we will cover any mechanical issues NOT mentioned in the listing or demo video that result from 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 working 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 any incidents arising from 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.

Jot & Tittle Vintage Typewriters will cover the cost of repairs and return shipping TO YOU. The customer is responsible for the cost of getting the typewriter TO US for repairs.
