When it comes to its electronic models, Brother JP- number designations (found on the underside of the lids on earlier models) are not much use if you want to differentiate between different AX- prefixed series/models.

The Single Element
Trawl through newspaper advertising for electric and electronic typewriters in the years 1974 to 1979 and you'll find many of the products released in that period were described as "single element typewriters", the single element in question usually being a ball element.

The keyboard cover had a few small gouges/blemishes on it, but the keyboard itself, the ribbon cover and the paper rest were all flawless. On the inside however, … Continue reading E.T.
