Description:
This is a wonderful Yiddish/Hebrew Corona 3 XC-R, which I picked up in Brighton Beach, New York, in October of 2022. In addition to the different characters, and the necessity of typing from right to left, it also has 30 keys, as opposed to the usual 28 on a Corona 3. It pairs nicely with my Underwood "Semitic" 46. The previous owner kept it in some sort of camera case, so not surprisingly it had a bend to the front frame that needed to be re-formed. The previous owner was a movie director from Moscow, so our conversations tended to be half in English, half in Russian.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Corona 3 XC-R on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Corona Serial Number page and the Corona 3 XC-R By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
