198X Smith Corona Super Correct Serial # 6LEK 108058G 198X Smith Corona Super Correct typewriter, Serial # 6LEK 108058G James Grooms's 198X Smith Corona Super Correct typewriter. 2026-04-29 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of James Grooms: 198X Smith Corona Super Correct Serial # 6LEK 108058G Date code UV32412, but the first letter is hard to read, but there is another one in the database as UV. Ted, have you been able to decipher the data into dates? These are definitely c 82-84.

I originally thought there was a 6-series machine with a standard ribbon in the lineup continuously. However, it appears there was not a 6 available until this 1982 reissue. The Classic 12 Correction and the Super Correct to fill the correction roll. So, somewhere in the mid to later 70s, SC dropped all the standard ribbon machines with the exception of a Y series Singapore machine.

This one was packed with correction dust. I can't imagine it produced a clean page. Maybe some child was just running dried-up ribbons one after another through it. A wonder it still worked. If I ever run into something like this one again, I am going to use Simple Green and put it in the kitchen sink, blast the stuff out, and take what comes.

These last runs have nice platens, a silencer spring on the escapement, the improved belt setup, and 5-position line pacing.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to any one area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.


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