Description:
A late-80's battery-operated thermal printing mini-wedge made by Sharp in Japan. This model prints in near-letter quality in 3 different typefaces and can do automatic centering and justification from documents stored in its 6000-character memory.
Note: these little battery-op baby wedges have a thermal print head, thus you can pull out the ribbon and feed it rolls of fax paper, and it'll print great on it without any ribbon at all! (:
Gifted to C. A. Bennett

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 Sharp PA-1050 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Sharp Serial Number page and the Sharp PA-1050 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
