I (*thought) I got my Smith Corona Ultrasonic Portable Electronic Typewriter With One Touch Memory Correction in 1975 when I quit work and was a SAH mom. I missed my (work) typewriter so my husband got this for me. At the time it was suppose to be able to be used as a computer printer (just needed the [costly] cable, which I'm not sure was actually available at that time--or ever?)
*I don't see any dates in my owenr's manual, but I have a separate sheet showing the different printwheels typestyles and it states "effective 7/1/82" SO maybe I got it in the early 80's. I just had this typewriter out to let the granddaughters play with it and I see that the black foam (maybe for noise insulation) inside the carriage area has gone bad and when touched it collapses and turns to a glob of grease.

It was my favorite possession. I spent hours in my room clacking away on that old typewriter. Of course, when I was five, I didn't know how to spell and I barely knew how to read, but I loved the sound and the look of the letters on the crisp white paper."
