Description:
Brother Webster XL-500. When this typewriter arrived, it had escapement issues and the carriage would not catch on space or keystrokes. I cleaned the escapement mechanism and ever since, it's been working well.
This machine is similar to all the other Brother deluxe type machines. Although, this one comes with a Tabulation feature. These type machines are fun to write on definitely in my top 5 for general writing.

![The vertical part originally wasn't latching because of build up from throughout the years. A couple drops of sewing machine oil cleared it up and it's working well again.

I'm a software engineer in the Chicagoland area. I've been collecting "vintage" vinyl, computers, mechanical keyboards and typewriters since I was a kid. Born into an analog world, but grew up in a digital one.
My wife is a writer and I enjoy problem solving and puzzles, so naturally fixing I fell in love with fixing and maintaining typewriters and she then gets to enjoy all of these machines!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Brother Webster XL-500 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Brother Serial Number page and the Brother Webster XL-500 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
