196x Neckermann Brillant S Serial # 300158 196x Neckermann Brillant S typewriter, Serial # 300158 Laurenz van Gaalen's 196x Neckermann Brillant S typewriter. 2025-03-02 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Laurenz van Gaalen: 196x Neckermann Brillant S Serial # 300158 This simplified* ABC model feels solid and cheap at the same time. Solid because of the hefty metal bottom plate and cheap because of the plastic body. The typing action is very light and reminds me somewhat on the Hermes 3000, probably because of the similar shape of the keys.

* This model omits the color selector, double line spacing, the end of paper indicator, the paper guide and the touch control.
