Description:
Purchased July 28, 2026 locally. A portable electronic daisy-wheel typewriter made in Singapore and sold through Kmart as a retailer-specific Smith-Corona model. It belongs to the same closely related product family as the SL 480, 250 DLE, DX2600, and Mark 100, all of which share the same owner’s manual. Fitted with a Regency 10 printwheel, it produces a traditional 10-pitch monospaced serif typeface. The machine remains in near-pristine condition, complete with its protective cover and original manual.
It was previously owned by the seller’s mother-in-law, who served as a deaconess. She used it primarily to prepare homilies, sermons, and other written material for church services.

I work in IT and enjoy slamming the keys that go clickity-clack from time to time.
I enjoy repairing, maintaining, and cleaning typewriters.
