1977 Adler J5 Serial # 15936183 1977 Adler J5 typewriter, Serial # 15936183 tom hitt's 1977 Adler J5 typewriter. 2018-01-21 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of tom hitt: 1977 Adler J5 Serial # 15936183 The J5 is sleek looking and functional, albeit not as smooth as higher quality typers. I like the chrome appointments. This one has the four digit number 6183 etched onto type bar #1.

The serial number is creating a conundrum for me. All of the J5's listed on TWDB are seven digits - this one clearly has an eight digit serial number. I'm comfy for the moment calling it an early 70's machine.
