Detailed Condition Note
Aesthetically, this machine is in beautiful shape, displaying a clean cream-white shell with crisp black accents and only minor signs of vintage wear. Mechanically, it is a flawless performer. The key action is incredibly fast, crisp, and snappy—uniquely characteristic of Brother’s short-stroke segment design. The custom tabulator system has been fully cleared, tested, and works perfectly. The typewriter includes its original soft-side carrying case; please note that while the fabric is clean, the zipper track is split and requires repair or replacement to fully close.

The jacket was beautiful but arms soo short for me - so it made a good gift for a friend
The typewriter arrived from Europe to the US sooner than scheduled which was a wonderful surprise. It was carefully wrapped so there was no damage at all. It was exactly as shown in photos online. All of the keys and functions work perfectly and I’ve been using it regularly with no issue. Highly recommend this business if you’re looking for a stress-free vintage purchase!
