The print head might have accummulated a lot of paper bits you need to clear them with a needle or just submerge the tip in petrol or ether. Caution do not submerge if its made of plastic.

Smith Corona se100 print head travels to extreme left, buzzes then powers down.

It sounds like there may be an issue with the print head carriage on your Smith Corona SE100 typewriter. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check for any obstructions: Make sure that there are no obstructions blocking the print head carriage from moving freely. If there are any obstructions, remove them carefully.
  2. Clean the print head carriage: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the print head carriage and ensure it is clean and free of any dust or debris.
  3. Check the power supply: Make sure that the typewriter is properly plugged in and receiving power. Check the power cord and outlet for any issues.
  4. Try resetting the typewriter: Turn off the typewriter and unplug it from the power source for a few minutes. Then, plug it back in and turn it on again to see if the issue has resolved.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be a more serious issue with the print head carriage or other internal components. In that case, it may be best to take the typewriter to a professional repair shop or contact the manufacturer for assistance.

Why does paper not advance to next line when carriage returns?

There might be a setting for how many lines it moves when the carriage gets to the end. It is mechanical so you'll see it!

L.C. Smith & Bros. typewriter No. 5 Margin setting

Make sure the carriage lock switch isn't on (presuming it has one). A carriage lock switch prevents the carriage moving when in transit (say, inside its case). These switches are usually located on the right hand side of the carriage, slightly underneath.
