198X Smith Corona SL 500 Serial # 2135324 198X Smith Corona SL 500 typewriter, Serial # 2135324 Claude Medearis's 198X Smith Corona SL 500 typewriter. 2026-10-28 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Claude Medearis: 198X Smith Corona SL 500 Serial # 2135324 I couldn't afford a Selectric, but I wanted the interchangeable type faces. So I bought this instead.
I've really enjoyed it, but swapping the dick means pulling the ribbon and correcting tape, which is a bit of a pain.

Someone gave me a vintage typewriter and I went maybe just a little bit crazy.
A dozen typewriters later, I think I found the machines I need.
