Hi, I have two of these types of word processors. One, I think is a Brother, the other is a SMC. I have only seen them lately at places like Goodwill, and maybe ebay if you are looking for one. I used them in them from 1987 to 1991 to do my college work because computers at that time were beyond my budget.

Sorry that should have been -- SCM for Smith Corona. It actually has a amber monitor don't know the size. Wonder if it still works?

I have gotten several responses. Didn't think I would get any! Is one of your word processors for sale? Asking price? Is it in good condition? Would appreciate the information. Thanks.
