Smith Corona Portable Electric Typewriter Motor Repair Start Clutch Pulley Belt Repair Electra 120
Here's a quick look at the motor & clutch to the electric Smith Corona typewriter. These need some attention & sometimes just need to have the clutch & pulley rebuilt so machine can turn the motor & centrifugal clutch to get started. Sometimes the motor bearing or bearing housing can get worn & cause motor not to start also. That is the case with this example, bearing housing looks to be rounded out & needs to be replaced. Since these machines have a limited value & that procedure can take some time it might not be cost effective to do this, coupled with the fact that the part availability might be limited & there was a few different styles of these. Most of the time it just needs the clutch/pulley removed , cleaned & reassembled.
