Description:
Smith Corona SL500 electric typewriter seen in a local antique shop. Mains power only and no information regarding serviceability. I could be tempted at the low price, as the Type H ribbons are available, but this is probably just too far from my desire to collect mechanical typewriters.

Retired Air Traffic Controller. Got my first typewriter from Santa when I was about 8 years old and woke my parents up at 3am as I just had to try it out when I woke up! Have had an old Imperial 58 in the family for longer than I can remember. A computer geek, but I just love the mechanics of typewriters and have started to collect a few more to keep the Imperial company!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona SL 500 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona SL 500 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
