Description:
Nice example of the Brother JP-5, re-badged for Sears. Plastic shell (very easy to take apart), but mechanically, very nice.
I put in some soundproofing felt to tame the sound to more pleasant levels, adjusted the type and passed it on to a girl who wants to "de=technologify" her life a bit. New typist in the ranks! (:

I am a scoundrel without a cause, and my swank outshines the sun.
I am a casual Typewriter Hunter residing in the sweltering deserts of Arizona with a wife, three cats and about 50 typewriters. My main hunting ground is thrift stores, and I rarely pay more than $10 for a machine. My collection consists mainly of portables with cases, and they stay in the cases unless I am actively using it (usually more than one at a time). I do, however keep a handful of interesting Selectrics, including a Composer and a couple of large Nakajima Electronics to use as daisywheel printers for my vintage laptop collection.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Sears Manual 2 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Sears Serial Number page and the Sears Manual 2 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
