Description:
72-73 ish. A typewriter for every task? The genealogy 215 that'll feed those 14 inch LDS forms.
This otherwise nice example took a hit. The RS platen knob was broken off, and the carriage release was bent up against the carriage. The killer though, was the busted pinion gear. After sorting through some model compatibility issues she's back in business.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to any one area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona 215 Office Electric on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona 215 Office Electric By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
