Description:
If you get a Brother you get a good typewriter.
This rule has worked for me so far pretty nicely. I got yet another variant of the well-tested JP-1 expecting a nice and inexpensive typewriter, and that´s exactly what I got.
For 5 euros it´s quite a bargain, because it only needs a bid of cleaning to be ready for action. It´s usable as it is, but there´s room for improvement.
Apart from that, I was expecting to revive the past glories of my much appreciated Brother Valiant, and while this one is not that awesome, it´s good enough.

The first typewriter I saw was my grandpa´s Olivetti Linea 98 at the office. It was just a curio for me. Then I was given a Nakajima, which I didn´t use and my grandfather took it from me because it was easier to handle than the bulky Linea 98. Now I own that typewriter, and I started a little collection in Valladolid, Spain. The Nakajima, which is "my" typewriter only returned home in 2017, almost 20 years later, when he wanted a better typewriter.
A collection that started small grew into something bigger, a nuisace for my family and a great source of satisfaction for me.
