Description:
I cleaned this typewriter for a friend. It was seemingly haunted, spontaneously typing repeated "5"s when it was turned on. Cleaning and degreasing gummy lever connections cleared up the problem and the typewriter now types properly.
No date code found.
The serial number is stamped on the bottom of the machine, on the right.

I'm a novice collector with a very small collection of mostly nonfunctional typewriters. I enjoy tinkering and repairs, so I am slowly but surely putting these typewriters back into service.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Electra 210 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Electra 210 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
