"I would first try Amazon and Ebay to see if you could find a Smith Corona in your price range. Other places to try are Staples, Office Max and other office supply stores."

I cannot seem to find any type of model #/ name on typwriter.
I have a Smith-Corona electric typewriter called a "Coronet Super 12" still in the case. It is blue in color and still works. In excellent condition. Was wondering the value of this typewriter and what would be the best way to find a buyer? Thank you, Pam Burkholder
If you search your local phone book you may find a good typewriter-repair place. They can probable fix it for you. If you need ribbons, try Staples
i have it :)
I have one.
I am not sure if you mean to unlock the case or to unlock it from the case that is holding it. I had one of these and to open the case you have two small levers on each side to open it. Push both at the same time. To take it out of the case you will find a hook in the back of the machine that you unhook. The hook engages a lever under the typewriter and you can lift it out. Turn turn on the typewriter you fill find the switch on the side ( right side if memory serves me right).
Hi there ~ I was looking for the same instruction manual, and I found this website: http://users.lewiston.com/ejorgens/office/smithcorona/smithcorona.html It appears to sell manuals for a lot of different/vintage typewriters, including the smith corona portable sterling. (I'm assuming you are refering to the 1938 - 1949 model) Look for the Clipper/Stering manual if this is the age of your machine.
You may find the information on one of the two PDF files located at the related links. There does not seem to be an online DLD 600 entry.
The only company on the Internet that has every Smith Corona model Manual or User's Guide is Will Repair Service. Their Website is; www.willrepairservice.com. Just log-on and request the manual you need. The "official" printed manual for the Smith Corona SL600 from Will Repair Service is presently quoted at $22.00 plus $8.00 shipping. A downloadable manual for the Spellmate model is available from the Smith Corona web site, at http://www.smithcorona.com/pdf/Spellmate.pdf. It's free, and the functions of this model appear to be similar to the SL600.
