Typewriter Talk / S-C Secretarial 215 - Did Not Know...

**Posted by Pete E.** 23-2-2023 21:21:31

Just found out that there was a Secretarial 215 model for some time.

It still retained the manual CR lever that I love on electrics.

But with the "upgrades" similar to the Secretarial 250. That is, taller and longer rubber feet, over-sized rollers on the paper bail (and 3 of them), and more heavy duty metal body panels.

Guess I need to keep an eye out for one.

These are photos from eBay when one sold for $ 29 and shipping back in 12-2022.

Thanks Pete.
I didn't know that.
I've been on a Smith Corona Electric binge for awhile, 60's-70's etc, and have a number of models through the evolution of the species to greater refinement, etc.
Will keep my eye out for this one.

Kalani,

There is one on eBay at the moment. But it looks like a really wide carriage...with over 160 characters wide.

I will look out for one with a 12" wide carriage. Not a fan of those jumbo-jet ones.

Almost perfect... If only it had 1.5 line spacing!
