1964 Sears Medalist Electric 12 Serial # SMCP-107858 1964 Sears Medalist Electric 12 typewriter, Serial # SMCP-107858 Johnny Tidmore's 1964 Sears Medalist Electric 12 typewriter. 2026-10-12 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Johnny Tidmore: 1964 Sears Medalist Electric 12 Serial # SMCP-107858 Condition & History: This Sears-branded Smith-Corona looks like it never left its case. It's spotless, and the paint is perfect. I picked it up at Goodwill.

Issues: The only fault is a broken clevis keeper spring on the dash/underscore (- _) typebar. I could tear the machine down to replace it, but I'd likely scratch the paint. Since it's in such nice shape, I'm leaving it as is for now.

Typing Impressions: I love these machines as a typer. They're fast and easy to use, and nearly indestructible.

I don't remember having a typewriter with a Check Protector key. It's on the "7" slug.
