197X Smith Corona Coronamatic 1200 Serial # 8ELB 116968H 197X Smith Corona Coronamatic 1200 typewriter, Serial # 8ELB 116968H James Grooms's 197X Smith Corona Coronamatic 1200 typewriter. 2026-04-15 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of James Grooms: 197X Smith Corona Coronamatic 1200 Serial # 8ELB 116968H New for 1975 and in the lineup until at least 1982. The budget Coronamatic marketing to students.

I am thinking this is an early version, because they dropped the separate cord feature. So possibly, 100000 is the start number.

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 Coronamatic 1200 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Coronamatic 1200 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
