1967 Brother Charger 870 Serial # H7687485 1967 Brother Charger 870 typewriter, Serial # H7687485 Uwe Wachtendorf's 1967 Brother Charger 870 typewriter. 2014-07-29 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Uwe Wachtendorf: 1967 Brother Charger 870 Serial # H7687485 August 1967 build if I correctly understand the Brother serial number system.

An acquaintance who understands my obsession with typewriters found this Charger in the scrap metal pile at the dump. I was happy to give her $10 for the machine as I've been looking for a parts donor for a Fleetwood that I'm trying to resurrect. Unfortunately, the Charger is in perfect mechanical condition and types like a champ, so I can't in good conscience tear it apart. And I'm not even sure that I want to mess with its cosmetic appearance; there should be something left to remind me that it was a dump diver's find.
