1968 Smith Corona Electra 120 Serial # 6LEV-346127 1968 Smith Corona Electra 120 typewriter, Serial # 6LEV-346127 Daniel Burgoyne's 1968 Smith Corona Electra 120 typewriter. 2026-03-10 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Daniel Burgoyne: 1968 Smith Corona Electra 120 Serial # 6LEV-346127 Found locally in Old Ottawa South, from the estate of a teacher, who must have taught typewriting and short hand techniques, as she had a number of textbooks in relation to these. The ribbon found in it is still good.

Admirably, the vee- belts are in good condition, albeit with a little set. It is also in great cosmetic condition, and the inside was very clean. I bet this machine was serviced before being stored.

The keyboard layout is Canadian bilingual, with the addition of the number 1 and the square brackets in the extreme key bars.

Bonjour! I am from the region of Montreal, Quebec and moved to Ottawa, Ontario in 1992.

Amateur watchmaker and machinist, I love anything mechanical, hydraulic or electric. I have restored American and Canadian clocks and small lathes, milling machines and a jig bore.

Most of my typewriters have French Canadian QWERTY keyboards, with some exception for rare finds.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Electra 120 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Electra 120 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
