Description:
Here is one of my first and one of my favorite typewriters. Brother De Luxe from 1964. SN: F4449501.
Beautiful light blue pastel color. British font. Infinitely adjustable font strike force on the roller.
13mm two-color ribbon.
Also comes with a small case for transport and storage in light blue color. Work on it is in progress as it has a damaged zipper and delaminated bottom.
Mechanically the machine is first class. I love to write on it despite the lack of Polish characters.

I live in Poland. My hobby is restoring analog devices to life. I do all the work, from cleaning, through mechanical repairs, to possible painting, by myself. I learn a lot from it. The love for typewriters began with Hermes 3000, which I received in 2022 from my sister as a gift. And so the collection is slowly growing...
