Description:
After watching the movie "Populaire" I needed to have a Japy-typewriter for the French moments in live. I found this P68 on eBay for very little money. Still in a good condition and typing nicely it needs to be freed of dust and Tipp-Ex.

Actually working with computers in my professional life I take the old mechanics as a compensation. I prefer machines manufactured before WWII, but I don't despise beautiful and good working typewriters from the fifties and sixties like e.g. the Olympia Splendid.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Japy P68 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Japy Serial Number page and the Japy P68 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
