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 grandfather was on a small town school board and used one for this. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! The long dormant tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved in circa 2010, Yes a believe it or not story is next, when a Hermes 3000 comes home with the girlfriend from work for free. Yes, free! From there the addiction is full steam. And yes, I now have a No. 5. Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose.
