Description:
Got this machine from Illinois in December 2025. Needed a good bit of work and some replacement parts but cleaned up very well. Still needs to have some typebar adjustments to align the characters a bit better but for now, good enough.
I swapped the typebars to a set of Classic Pica No. 85 (Slugs marked 85 DC, typeface is slightly different from the 85 U variant). I didn't swap out the 7 typebar solely because of the check writing symbol above the 7 being a unique feature of the Sears Medalist's. And obviously this was never a combination offered for sale, took it from a donor SCM electric that was destroyed in shipping sadly, but hey I get the cooler features of this one instead.

Started collecting in March 2025. Have had quite a few machines so far, main theme of my collection is owning all cubic typefaces each on different machines. And then just other interesting finds I enjoy.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Sears Medalist Electric 12 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Sears Serial Number page and the Sears Medalist Electric 12 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
