 I bought a Smith-Corona SD-300 typewriter with the Spell-Right II option
about a month ago.  It cost me $400 at a discount house. The machine was
well worth it.  I talked to a S-C service man BEFORE I bought the machine.
He said he serviced 3 machines like it (new S-C typewriters) in the past
year.  Two had blown fuses, one a bridge recifier.  This guy also services
Sharp and IBM typewriters.  He said between the 3, the S-C was the best buy.
I've used mine quite a bit in the last month (I've typed about 20 letters).
No problems at all.  I wholeheartedly recommend this S-C macnine.
