Thank you for this great video. We have an old Smith Corona and I finally had the replace the correction ribbon. It wasn't working. I found your video and followed your instructions and it worked! Thanks!

Cool. I had some manual typewriters but never had the funds to get one of these printwheel models. I finally got a daisy wheel printer but it was connected to an Atari 1040ST.

The main purpose I found your video was to find out HOW TO OPEN UP THE TYPEWRITER SO I CAN REPLACE THE INK. But you just assume that everybody knows that and just opens yours up without one word on how to do it. (I haven't used it for over 10 years, but found myself needing it again.) Bless have some consideration for people who need to be reminded of the basics. Like all those books out for "Dummies".

Mate I got a smith XL2900 (family had it for a long time) and always get annoyed with the correction tape getting loose.

First off I’m jealous how yours is better than mine XD

Second, thanks for showing clearly how to tighten it when in the type writer.

If you have trouble finding the printed cassette, my suggestion is to refill the cassette roll from another brand, as long as it's the same size

Hi Phoenix Typewriter. Thanks for your great posting. I followed all your instructions and installed the correction cartridge and ribbon, everything clicked into place. For some reason the ribbon won't advance. Is this anything you have experience with? Thanks for your help.

Great video! Really helped us learn how to replace ribbons. Question... The caps lock key on our machine does not light up when pressed. Any idea if this is fixable? If so, got any suggestions for us to look for resource info? ( bulb replacement, wiring issue, etc)?

Hi Duane -- I just replaced the correction cartridge on my SL460. It did have the cheap one you showed in the beginning, and I replaced it with a genuine Smith-Corona cartridge, but now the Caps Lock light is flashing and the machine will not function. When I re-install the cheap generic cartridge then it works again. For the life of me I cannot figure out WHY! Any thoughts?

Hey there, i had question, i have a smith corona sl470 and i have in it one of these cartridges like the one you have in the video, this is kinda complicated so bear with me, i pulled the typewriter out tonight after a few years in the closet and i pulled the cartridge out since i figured i would buy a new one.

When i pulled the cartridge out i noticed there was a waded up piece of paper under the cartridge, well i remembered that i have to have it there for the thing to work, basically without a piece of paper under the cartridge the lock button will blink and the typewriter wont work, the wadded up piece of paper pushes the sensors down so the machine will be tricked into thinking the sensor is down and operates properly, whats the problem here?

My machine uses a cartridge and a second smaller cartridge for the eraser (corrector) while searching online i ran into a generic cartridge that has 2 "fingers" for lack of a a better word that would push the sensors down (my machine actually has 2 sensors) and would work fine but when i type in SL470 Cartridge on the net it mainly shows the one i have now and you show here, I'm completely confused, do i have the wrong cartridge or whats the deal? in really simple terms the cartridge i have now doesn't have anything that pushes down on the sensors so i have to make me a little ball of paper and put it against the sensor before i press the cartridge in, then the machine works like a charm!! thank you so much for any input you might have.
