Description:
Although I'm not a connoisseur of electronic typewriters, I would characterize this one as a well-made basic model---no editing screen, unknown amount of memory, changeable daisywheel typefaces. This was made in Japan by an unspecified company and carries Sears' "Listing Number" of AX-80 and Model Number of 161. 53309850.

While I find all of mankind's inventions interesting, I am most enchanted by the human-scale arts and devices, the ones that can be created (and repaired) in a home workshop or studio; the ones that can be understood by looking at them; the ones that do something useful or stir admiration. Typewriters work for me.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Sears Electronic II on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Sears Serial Number page and the Sears Electronic II By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
