1983 Smith Corona Super Correct Serial # 6LEK 149458 G 1983 Smith Corona Super Correct typewriter, Serial # 6LEK 149458 G David Richman's 1983 Smith Corona Super Correct typewriter. 2026-03-10 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of David Richman: 1983 Smith Corona Super Correct Serial # 6LEK 149458 G I got this during back in 2024, we went to New York to see the eclipse. on our way back we stopped by OldGoodThings and I found this machine, that antique store was odd but they had some pretty cool things, even picked up an antique brass fire extinguisher. From what the guy in the shop said they had picked up the machine from an old office they were renovating or something like that, that would explain all the dust and paint on the machine when I got it.
This typewriter is a bit on the noisy side and the backspace button was giving me some issues, I was actually able to fix the backspace button with some Mineral spirits and oil, now it works fine. All in all this machine actually types pretty well and I cant believe that they kept this body style for so long.

Like many Smith Corona typewriters you can take the platen out easily.

I have been collecting and restoring typewriter's for about 2 and a half years now, I collect and restore other antiques aswell but I mainly focus on typewriters.


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