1983 Brother EP-20 Serial # D33811432 1983 Brother EP-20 typewriter, Serial # D33811432 Javier Vazquez del Olmo's 1983 Brother EP-20 typewriter. 2016-08-19 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Javier Vazquez del Olmo: 1983 Brother EP-20 Serial # D33811432 So far this is the smallest typewriter I have.

This tiny little wedge is a curiosity, and since it was so cheap I had to get my hands on it. The weight multiplies tenfold if you feed it the four D size batteries it needs to spit its dotty writing.

The problem is that it doesn´t seem to print well. I still have to try to feed it some thermal fax paper, but I don´t know if the thermal print head is misalligned or something. The type sample speaks for itself.

Maybe I´m not going to use it heavily, ut for that price how could I refuse?

The first typewriter I saw was my grandpa´s Olivetti Linea 98 at the office. It was just a curio for me. Then I was given a Nakajima, which I didn´t use and my grandfather took it from me because it was easier to handle than the bulky Linea 98. Now I own that typewriter, and I started a little collection in Valladolid, Spain. The Nakajima, which is "my" typewriter only returned home in 2017, almost 20 years later, when he wanted a better typewriter.

A collection that started small grew into something bigger, a nuisace for my family and a great source of satisfaction for me.
