It's actually called a Silent-Super. If you don't own one already, I'd suggest keeping it. They're great machines. granted, I'm a bit biased--my first typewriter was the 55 scss you can see in my latest post on arsdecarta...
Matt, Art is right. They are spectacular machines. I have two. As Will Davis says on his site, "One of the best typewriters of any kind ever made anywhere."
I don't the the other typers stand a chance, Matt. You're the wickedest thing on a typewriter I've ever seen*.
(*Excepting, of course, my dear Mum; she was a church and school secretary her whole working life, and could type faster than the eye could see on her big IBM Selectric.)
