Description:
Barely better than a toy. Sears ran products through quality control and one can bet that after a year of selling this, they dropped it from the catalog.
Sears was carrying the full SC lineup in 60, including the Chieftan for the ultra offering. I wonder why they dropped that for 61 and opted for this instead.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Tower Capri on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Tower Serial Number page and the Tower Capri By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
