Hi Clutterbug,

I just saw your post, and I was wondering if you still have the Smith Corona music writer for sale? If so, I may be interested in purchasing it from you.

Cheers,

-Edward

Edward RDZ, thank you very much for your inquiry. I no longer havew the music writer. It was taken by a local high school band director who intended it as a special Christman gift to his elderly friend and mentor, who enjoyed composing. It is gratifying to have your interest in this remarkable machine.
