Description:
Sighted at an antique thrift shop. Not too many Coronet Electrics on here, though they're not all that different from other Smith Corona Electrics. Pica typeface.
The motor wasn't moving when I turned it on, so, not having my pocketknife on hand, I was resorted to hunting around the shop for a cheese spreading knife to substitute as a screwdriver. Thankfully the motor was just stuck in place from too many years of standing idle, so I hand rotated the rotor and afterward it worked fine.
