Description:
This is a 1970 Sears Celebrity. It was found at Peddlers Mall for $19.99. It was sticky and has had years of neglect. It was covered in nicotine and was in bad shape cosmetically. Cleaning it with a few Tub O’ Towels (they are great for cleaning typewriters, and type faces) shined it up. Most of the nicotine is gone and all of the sticky is gone. It’s now in good shape. It types well, but it takes a bit more muscle to get the keys to strike the platen. It has tabs, 1, !, +, and = keys. I hope you found this useful or interesting. Thanks!
