198X Smith Corona SL 500 Serial # 5ACC 2012898 198X Smith Corona SL 500 typewriter, Serial # 5ACC 2012898 Ian Brumfield's 198X Smith Corona SL 500 typewriter. 2014-09-04 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Ian Brumfield: 198X Smith Corona SL 500 Serial # 5ACC 2012898 This is a Smith-Corona SL 500 daisywheel electric. These electrics are not included in the database, so I am assuming sometime during the 80s was when this was made. There are two stickers inside with numbers on them, and either of them could be the serial number. They are as follows: SR 04702 and 5ACC 2012898 . The underside says that this model is 5A, but the case says SL 500. Since no information is available on these, I'll stick with SL 500 for now. This machine was my first typewriter!

UPDATE: (9/3/14) From the model number moulded into he plastic (5A), I will go with the serial #5ACC 2012898. Also, I got this machine on February 5th 2012.

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.
