1969 Remington (Brother) 711 Serial # F9296034 1969 Remington (Brother) 711 typewriter, Serial # F9296034 James Grooms's 1969 Remington (Brother) 711 typewriter. 2025-11-10 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of James Grooms: 1969 Remington (Brother) 711 Serial # F9296034 This is a fantastic piece of engineering. Is it the peak of affordable typebar electrics? This Brother JP-2 can type! Priced the same as S-C's top of the line 250, it is a better build, easier to service, has a superior ribbon system, and is much quieter.

This gem came with part of a letter wrapped around the platen dated April 1973. So if it were sold in circa 1970, it saw three years of use and was parked in a box under the cover. They took the time to cut some foam and make a bit of a case out of the box. A careful light service and exterior clean up, and away she goes. There's a bit of yellowing to the plastic, but not too bad, and it's hard to figure out what it was like originally. I think the parts that weren't exposed to the sun also faded a bit. I've been looking at other Brother products on the thrift circuit, and maybe something cheap will make a good experiment?

The less expensive JP-4s were more portable and ran concurrently

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 anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
