Description:
My first electric powered machine, and was purchased for nearly nothing. I’ve done nothing to it besides install a ribbon, and it types well as-is. Testament to Smith-Corona’s build quality for sure. These electrics are a really fun typing experience, but this one is quite loud mostly due to the hardened platen. Year of manufacture is a complete guess right now. 10cpi Pica -EDIT- Another machine I passed on to TB Writers Plus in Dayton, OH to find a new home. 10-22-23

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Electra 120 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Electra 120 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
