1964 Webster (Brother) XL-500 Serial # K4538567 1964 Webster (Brother) XL-500 typewriter, Serial # K4538567 Joel Gomez's 1964 Webster (Brother) XL-500 typewriter. 2026-07-16 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Joel Gomez: 1964 Webster (Brother) XL-500 Serial # K4538567 Purchased online on July 12, 2026. The ribbon cover rubber grommets that keep it in place have completely rotted away and the rubber feet will likely need to be replaced as well sadly. Thankfully the platen and feed rollers are in good condition. All of the functionality of the typewriter work well without issue after a pretty good initial cleaning. Will definitely clean the slugs once I get a better ribbon in. The tops of the keys are also a bit yellowed and maybe I'll try to whiten them. After measuring the typeface sample, I found out that the typeface is 11 CPI. Very interesting.

I work in IT and enjoy slamming the keys that go clickity-clack from time to time.
I enjoy repairing, maintaining, and cleaning typewriters.
