1964 Sears Electric 10 Serial # S6SE104426 1964 Sears Electric 10 typewriter, Serial # S6SE104426 James Grooms's 1964 Sears Electric 10 typewriter. 2024-07-05 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of James Grooms: 1964 Sears Electric 10 Serial # S6SE104426 The early versions of this S-C 5TE for Sears are just "Electric" and it would appear that by 1965 they started badging them as "Electric 10" as they always did with the Electric 12s. So I think for simplicity this - the only one I see - should be galleried as "Electric 10"? The attached link shows an "Electric" in the Fall/Winter of 1963. There are some on ebay and I clipped the images and added them here as well as links for other examples.

Just the great 5TE mechanism in a different skin. And this is much easier to work on because the modular body comes apart in pieces. This one had some challenges that I assumed were just gummed up issues. However, the escape was messed up and there was a spring missing on the spacebar trip linkage that really baffled me for a bit.

As with many, the bug is back there somewhere due to an Underwood No. 5. My grandparents had a No 5. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! A casual interest in typewriters started with a garage sale 3 bank simply because it said Underwood on it. Typewriters were found here and there , but I wasn't actively looking for them. The long dormant collecting tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved.

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.
