The Panasonic KX-E508 compact electronic typewriter is strictly business, lacking any of the frills and idiosyncrasies of, say, the Olivetti ET Compact 70. The spartan styling and faux metallic silver-grey finish of the KX-E508 is the same styling and finish that Matsushita applied to its Panasonic KX-R series portables; portables like the KX-R250: Viewed individually, … Continue reading Panasonic KX-E508

The Quick Brown Fix
A Brother AX-20 parts machine finally gave me the opportunity to replace the broken paper-rest that came with the AX-30 I picked up cheaply a few years ago. While the paper rest is the same on all four first-generation Made in Japan Brother portable e.t.s (AX-10, 12, 20, 30), the ribbon cover as a whole … Continue reading The Quick Brown Fix
Olivetti ET Compact 70
Designed by Mario Bellini along the lines of previous Praxis models ... ... they're lines that wouldn't look out of place on a Parisian rooftop ... A simple and sturdy paper rest slots neatly into place behind the platen ... A large lever on the right-hand side of the platen might (I thought) be for … Continue reading Olivetti ET Compact 70

Triumph-Adler SE 320
The lid on this machine is from an SE 310 ... The lid slots into the upper rear vents of the machine and is secured by spring-loaded clips at the front. Apparently, the lid was an optional extra on all subsequent TA 3XX models, which had a soft vinyl cover as standard. TA's corporate colour … Continue reading Triumph-Adler SE 320
Brother CE-550
I replaced the CE-550 I bought late last year with a better one. The new machine comes with an instruction guide, paper guide, acoustic cover (albeit damaged) and anti-glare shield the other typewriter was missing. It's also less affected by yellowing overall, except for the front lip of the machine, which must have been exposed … Continue reading Brother CE-550

MVB Electronic 2000
In designing their JP-11 and JP-14 Correct-o-ball series, Brother may well have taken their cue from the Olivetti Lexikon 82/83DL released a few years earlier. These "golf ball" typewriters were followed by TWO JP-16 DAISY WHEEL MODELS with the same fixed print unit and manual carriage escapement (the M8300/Correctronic 8300 and the M9300/Executron 9300). It … Continue reading MVB Electronic 2000
