Typewriter Talk / Smith-Corona 250 Office Electric

Hi,

I have a Smith-Corona 250 Office Electric. I presume that the machine is from 1967, but actually the series is not listed here: https://typewriterdatabase.com/smithcorona.86.typewriter-serial-number-database

My serial number is VX6R-109469 and there is no VX6R in that list. For instance "X6RV 101234 up" means 1967.
Looking at the machine and at its keyboard i presume that it is from 1967. I also know that the newest patent mentioned in the sticker under the carriage is dated 4th of May 1965.

Does somebody know something about this?

My guess is that you machine is a 250 Mark I from 1965...

Sometimes the letter prefixes make no sense...so I go by model and just the numbers.
