1972 Smith Corona Electra 210 Serial # 6ES 259548 1972 Smith Corona Electra 210 typewriter, Serial # 6ES 259548 James Grooms's 1972 Smith Corona Electra 210 typewriter. 2024-10-12 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of James Grooms: 1972 Smith Corona Electra 210 Serial # 6ES 259548 A very clean example from the original owner. It included the sales receipt, along with all the other ppwk, so I am calling this a 1972. Still running on the original v belts.
You don't know what you are missing.

There is no TWDB breakout for this model. It was introduced in late 1967. It was a big deal and big ad push as it was the first all electric portable vs the 63 release of the “office electric” lineup. By 1974 the ads end, as SCM is onto the cartridge system model.

A 1974 ad claims there were over 2,000,000 electric protables produced. So, the same base model and are there more of them than Underwood 5s. Recall that number is more than one model bunched in there.

As with many, the bug is back there somewhere due to an Underwood No. 5. My grandfather was on a small town school board and used one for this. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! The long dormant tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved in circa 2010, Yes a believe it or not story is next, when a Hermes 3000 comes home with the girlfriend from work for free. Yes, free! From there the addiction is full steam. And yes, I now have a No. 5. Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose.
