197X Smith Corona Coronet Super 12 Serial # 6LEF 3289556 197X Smith Corona Coronet Super 12 typewriter, Serial # 6LEF 3289556 Andrew Nold's 197X Smith Corona Coronet Super 12 typewriter. 2022-09-24 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Andrew Nold: 197X Smith Corona Coronet Super 12 Serial # 6LEF 3289556 The Smith-Corona Coronet Super 12 is a superb typer, and quite quick. This unit came in a beautiful baby blue color. The automatic return is so quick it's almost unnerving- I wouldn't mind it being slower and quieter. The typewriter seems to be working in perfect condition for its age, and feels of solid construction. My only gripe is the space bar, which happens to have a oddly dissatisfying travel compared to the other keys. The platten and all other parts function nominally.
