Description:
This is one of the least common model name derivatives. If not for that, it'd have been in the parts pile. There was a fair amount of rust, so the first stop was to see if I could get the motion screws loose. Next up were the platen knobs, which are tough on these under the best of conditions. After a long PPB soak, check on both, and away we go.
This is one sharp color.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to any one area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Brother Prestige 700 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Brother Serial Number page and the Brother Prestige 700 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
