196X Smith Corona Coronet Electric Serial # 6SV-284314 196X Smith Corona Coronet Electric typewriter, Serial # 6SV-284314 Russell Knight's 196X Smith Corona Coronet Electric typewriter. 2026-03-03 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Russell Knight: 196X Smith Corona Coronet Electric Serial # 6SV-284314 Sighted at an antique thrift shop. Not too many Coronet Electrics on the TWB, though all Smith Corona Electrics are practically the same. Pica typeface.

The motor wasn't moving when I turned it on, so, not having my pocketknife on hand, I was resorted to hunting around the shop for a cheese spreading knife to substitute as a screwdriver. Thankfully the motor was just stuck in place from too many years of standing idle, so I hand rotated the rotor and afterward it worked fine.
