1975 Majestic 812 Serial # B5360097 1975 Majestic 812 typewriter, Serial # B5360097 David Vandergucht's 1975 Majestic 812 typewriter. 2024-11-16 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of David Vandergucht: 1975 Majestic 812 Serial # B5360097 Bought this one at a garage sale. It types pretty nicely. Its' current main flaw is that when typing the 3 key, the type bar won't return down. One of the linking hooks gets tangled with the letter x. Pressing the letter x lets it return to its proper position. I could probably bend one of the linking bars, but I'm not sure I want to.
