1966 Sears Medalist Electric 12 Serial # SM6V-119342 1966 Sears Medalist Electric 12 typewriter, Serial # SM6V-119342 Claude Medearis's 1966 Sears Medalist Electric 12 typewriter. 2026-09-17 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Claude Medearis: 1966 Sears Medalist Electric 12 Serial # SM6V-119342 Having bought a Forecast Electric, I just had to buy the deluxe model. And being short on money, I bought the cheapest one, which was a mistake.
It had the powered ribbon drive and the Sears Best label I wanted. It didn't have a case and the right carriage end cap was broken off, along with the peg on the paper injector to open the paper bail. But the rest of it works fine, so it's still a good typewriter.
Although it still needs more cleaning.

I pealed some paper off the back. I think it was the scratch guard from the factory that was supposed to be removed 60 years ago. The glue has hardened somewhat since then. I probably should have left it alone.

Someone gave me a vintage typewriter and I went maybe just a little bit crazy.
A dozen typewriters later, I think I found the machines I need.
