1980 Sears SR3000 Scholar Serial # 01055451 1980 Sears SR3000 Scholar typewriter, Serial # 01055451 Richard Polt's 1980 Sears SR3000 Scholar typewriter. 2022-12-17 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Richard Polt: 1980 Sears SR3000 Scholar Serial # 01055451 A decent electric that comes in a molded plastic suitcase. The carriage return was very noisy on this one; I formed the loose dog stop to soften the noise, but wonder whether there's supposed to be a silent carriage return spring. I don't think so, as I recall working on another Scholar that also buzzed back.
