Description:
First Philips typewriter I came across on Facebook Marketplace, thought it would be a good idea to add it here as a sighting - since there is no other Philips typewriter on the TWDB. I had to file it under the Philips/Magnavox category, but this is a Philips electronic typewriter, not a model of the Magnavox series. The machine looks really good, has a QWERTZ German keyboard layout and a small functions display screen. Very interesting to see that Philips gave it a try with typewriters back then.

Writer and blogger from Athens, Greece. I own a small collection of typewriters, most of my machines are functional and I try to repair any with problems that keeps it from typing. For me, it is important for a typewriter not just to sit on a shelve for display, but to be able to type when I want to. On the links below you will find my blogs and social media profiles. Feel free to follow me and get in touch if you want. I am always happy to communicate :)
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Philips/Magnavox VW2240 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Philips/Magnavox Serial Number page and the Philips/Magnavox VW2240 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
