Smith Corona XL 1500

Well, SC was not long for this world – at least, as a typewriter company — when these came out. Hard to make much money in a shrinking market with commodified hardware.

This is a competent unit from the electronic daisy wheel era.

Daisy wheel is labelled “Regency 10”

 

Just a few words. The machine feels cheap but the results are nice. It has a few extra characters, but not many — accents, but no Greek for example. Seems like a pretty basic model.

One latch is missing, sadly

 

Model 5AEC, apparently

 

 

I have a manual for it; let me know if you’d like a scan (32 pages)

And that’s that.
