The strike keys may be bent. Try opening the top of the typewriter and straightening them.

I just received a Smith Corona model 5-A SL 460 typewriter, it arrived damaged. I watched a video before purchasing showing that it worked. When it arrived, the power button made a noise when it was either on or off!

Then it arrived with the half space bar off, I tried to put it back on and that is when I lost all power. Is this junk or can it be fixed at a reasonable price??
