Description:
MOD 9401-21 PROD NO 92570006. Interesting enough the back plate tells "Made in Sweden" so not some rebranded Japanese model I guess. Has an uncommon two-pin power connector and the cord is missing, so was unable to test the typeface. Seems to have a fixed non-changeable (?) typewheel.
This individual unit was originally in use in a school for people with hearing problems in Turku, Finland and was probably removed from use in late 90's. Plastic parts are damaged in several spots, so for example the back part of the top cover looks a bit off.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Facit 3401 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Facit Serial Number page and the Facit 3401 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
