Hi Pat,
Ah, those old Siecos--I experienced several of them years ago, but never got
around to buying one for one reason or another. I think they used to run
around 100 dollars back in the day. I sure wish I had one today. Everyone
I knew who had one loved them. How did it handle the Spanish or French or
other languages it spoke in? Or aren't you talking about the talking
version?

I shouldn't say this but I have a 25 year old Seico running on its
second battery and never cleaned. It doesn't get much better than that.
