Description:
This Brother electric typewriter was quite the find. Smooth carriage return, consistent line spacing, and pleasing returns make this the best electric typewriter that I have ever owned. Although this model is quite heavy (compared to some other portable manuals) it still is worth carrying to the library some days. The model I got was quite dirty when I got it, due to the "correcting" white ribbon (this is a common theme for "correcting" typewriters). The switches to turn on the machine, select correcting/normal ribbon, and impact pressure all work quite nicely.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Brother 3800 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Brother Serial Number page and the Brother 3800 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
