197X Smith Corona Coronet Automatic 10 Serial # 6ESD 155966G 197X Smith Corona Coronet Automatic 10 typewriter, Serial # 6ESD 155966G James Grooms's 197X Smith Corona Coronet Automatic 10 typewriter. 2025-07-22 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of James Grooms: 197X Smith Corona Coronet Automatic 10 Serial # 6ESD 155966G The woodgrain machines are 1970 on. The Coronet Automatic 10/12s were budget versions of the Electra 210/220s. The 10s are less common, and this one is super clean without the typical UV issues. However, some scrapes from being upside down in the case!

In 1964 the jeweled bearing escapement was introduced. Contrary to the matrix, this was more than just marketing.

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 anyone 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 Coronet Automatic 10 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Coronet Automatic 10 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
