Description:

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.

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.
