Thank you. It helped a lot. I just got an electric Coronet super 12 from an estate sale for just $30. But it needs a new cartridge. Now I know how to change it
@@kathyannrose9733 Hi Kathyann, the only place that I have seen the Smith Corona Correction Cartridges has been on eBay. I don't think they manufacture them anymore, so most of them are old stock unfortunately. The correction ribbon I ordered stopped working after a few days unfortunately, so I am not sure if I want to buy another ribbon and try again. I will keep my eye out for them when on eBay/Amazon. I am starting to think White Out may be our best solution with these old Smith Corona's. Thanks for your comment!
Hi, I just bout a C 400 and I am really sad because it costs me a lot to but Smith Corona Cronomatic Cartridge from UK to China. Do you know a way or product to replace the Smith&Corona Cartridge? Thank you very much.
Yes! The return on these is violent, but I prefer the auto return to manual. And alot of them just hum. I relaced the belts on one, but ended up damaging the case. There is a lever that you push underneath the cartridge to release it, have you tried that? Hope this helps!
@@exploreandthriftwithmario I got it off and put a new cartridge in. It’s nice! Since it all works fine, I’m going to leave the belt as it is. I’ll Just put some rubber conditioner on it. Thanks.
I actually have the return button (it was with it when I bought it, but it wasn't attached). When cleaning the typewriter, a little plastic piece fell out. It was part of the return key. The piece just needs to be glued on to the return key to fix it, but I still haven't gotten around to it.

I'm so glad my video was able to help you! Have fun with your new typewriter!!! :)
Cool video! I'm getting one tomorrow so I liked seeing the correcting option exists!
Thank you! Yes, I'm glad there is a way to correct too! How do you like yours?
@@exploreandthriftwithmario I like it but I haven't had the time to really play with it...on clean it lol
I apologize for blocking the view of the typewriter a few times, I'll try a different setup in the next video.
How do I get the correction cartridge. I tried Ebay and only the regular cartridge came up and also on amazon. Thanks.
I really appreciate your help. I will be looking out for your reply, thanks.

Where’d you buy it
At a thrift store, for $10, I believe.
It looks like your power return button is gone that sucks.
I actually have the return button (it was with it when I bought it, but it wasn't attached). When cleaning the typewriter, a little plastic piece fell out. It was part of the return key. The piece just needs to be glued on to the return key to fix it, but I still haven't gotten around to it.
I've since fixed the return button with some Krazy Glue.
