1979 Underwood Electric 565 Serial # 9008534 1979 Underwood Electric 565 typewriter, Serial # 9008534 Types McGilicuddy's 1979 Underwood Electric 565 typewriter. 2025-10-08 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Types McGilicuddy: 1979 Underwood Electric 565 Serial # 9008534 Found at a local thrift store in mint condition. Condition of the platen, ribbon, and lack of interior dust & debris makes me suspect it was used a few times and then stored in the back of a closet, sealed in its molded plastic case. Action is a bit jumpy, with an overenthusiastic spacebar making my early tests look like a Hemingway draft (not a bad thing!), but I suspect it will even out with moderate use. [Note: When Ted Munk tells you it's made by Silver-Seiko, you don't question it.] A happy find.
