Description:
It has a hard case, the serial number plate, and the mfg. booklet. Good condition. Needs to be cleaned. All keys work. Needs a new ribbon.
I found this exact typewriter in the Sears Christmas catalog - 1962, page 308 for sale $58.99 with a warranty offer.

1962 Sears Tower Challenger. I found it in the Sears Christmas catalog - page 308 of that year. Model number 871.1900. It works but needs a little TLC. I want to get it in good working order so that I may use it on a regular basis. My birth mother used her typewriter for everything and I want to do the same. Need a reputable place for service, repairs and purchase a new ribbon.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Sears Tower Challenger on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Sears Serial Number page and the Sears Tower Challenger By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
