I have a Smith Corona Deville 450. Most things appear to work and it would be fine for filling in blanks on a form if you roll the paper manually to where you want to type, but it will not advance on it's own. The code + 3 does not appear to work for spacing between lines. It just retypes over previous line and will not advance to next line to type. Is there any way to fix?

My 470 does that too.
I had to remove the cover and on the right side, there's a strange gear which is damaged.
Seems like an assembly which splits appart when too much force is applied.
There's a lever with a spring that I can push to remove a pin, then take the gear assembly out.
If it is the same for you, maybe you can take it back together and it's going to hold in place.
Mine is damaged, but I didn't find a replacement yet.
None of my homemade fixes held yet.
Make sure the paper release lever is engaged

This place sells them. Maybe one of their experts can give you some insights:
Let us know what you learn! Thanks!
can you manually advance the paper by rolling it up by rotating the knob on the right away from you?
