1984 Smith Corona Electra XT Serial # 3LRU346824 1984 Smith Corona Electra XT typewriter, Serial # 3LRU346824 David Richman's 1984 Smith Corona Electra XT typewriter. 2026-03-12 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of David Richman: 1984 Smith Corona Electra XT Serial # 3LRU346824 Its a great machine to type on surprisingly, even though it was made at the end of the typewriter era.
Something odd I found on this machine was a carriage shift, normally they had them on machines pre 40s or so, so for 1984 to have a carriage shifting typewriter is definitely odd, works well though.
Also I love this keyboard, it feels like a mechanical computer keyboard.

OMG I hit the motherload of information. apparently the serial number 3LRU451958 correlates with a production of 1984. I also while doing research found a Deville XT with the same body style as the Electra XT being sold in 1987.

Hi, I started collecting typewriters in my early teens . One day I stumbled across an antique store on my way home, I saw a typewriter outside the shop and I urged my Mother to pull over so I could check it out. I don't know where this intrigue can from but after that machine I became fascinated with them. I figured I should mention that, most people seem to get into this hobby for nostalgia, I just like mechanical things.
I started a Youtube channel called The Jersey Type
