1980 Sears The Scholar with correction Serial # 01523524 1980 Sears The Scholar with correction typewriter, Serial # 01523524 King Corduroy's 1980 Sears The Scholar with correction typewriter. 2015-01-15 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of King Corduroy: 1980 Sears The Scholar with correction Serial # 01523524 Forever I had passed by these electric typewriters, simply grouping them in with the cheap and ugly daisy wheel typewriters of the late 80's and 90's.
Recently however I saw one on the internet and quite fell in love with the design. I then decided I would have to look for one next time I went to Goodwill.
Low and behold I found one today in the power tools section for only 5$!

It works in much the same way as other electric typewriters but is nice in that it has power return, power shift, a power backspace and it can use two tone ink ribbons.
Also it should be noted that this typewriter uses standard ribbon spools and not a cartridge like some of the Coronamatics.
The keycaps remind me a lot of the Commodore Vic 20 and C64 keyboards. Knowing that Commodore skimped on the PETs keyboard by using POS keyboards I wouldn't be surprised if they were able to save money by using typewriter keycaps.

I am a mechanical engineering student with a fascination for antiques, I bought my first typewriter when I was in 6th or 7th grade. It was a very beat-up and dejected Remington Noiseless Model 7 and it only cost me 5$ since I was the only one at the auction interested in it. Since then I have sold it (and happen to know it is sitting in an antique shop) but my love for typewriters has never waned.
Since then my interests have spread to vintage computers and other electronics and I have obtained many interesting things. I now own 3 typewriters, but I am always looking for more and those sleek portables of the 1940's and 50's always catch my eye.
