Description:
The less common Brother JP-5. It is a better machine than a JP-7. There's some obvious budget cutting of the 7 compared to the 5.
There are a few ads in late 74, but the big push was 76 and then onto closeout.

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 any one area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Sears Manual 2 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Sears Serial Number page and the Sears Manual 2 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
