The only thing I sort of wish is that at least one of the typewriters were
fitted originally, at least, with the typewriter lens. The typewriter lens
I had for work was especially made for an Olympic typewriter, and I very
much thought of buying the special Smith Corona typewriter with the Optacon
lens together when I had an Optacon, but I wasn't sure how much longer I'd
be with Social Security, or for that matter, how much I'd actually use the
lens for filling out forms at home. Probably not a lot, as it turned out.
When I've had the opportunity to get them (two from family members, one I
purchased and one my ex-husband purchased used for me in case I needed a
backup), I've held onto them for dear life, so to speak!

Oh, you are so blessed to have four working Smith Corona typewriters; I
treat my one unit with great care!
