Description:
The white plastic shell on this late J5 feels more fragile than earlier versions, but the typewriter is still fundamentally a good one, with a well-working tabulator and a whisper-smooth return.
This example has a script typeface.
The machine can be dated (probably) by the month and year stamp in the molded plastic case: I'm not sure how to interpret the month, but the year is 1976.
