198X Towa 1-2-3 Corrector Serial # 008426 198X Towa 1-2-3 Corrector typewriter, Serial # 008426 Jacob Peacock's 198X Towa 1-2-3 Corrector typewriter. 2026-05-18 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Jacob Peacock: 198X Towa 1-2-3 Corrector Serial # 008426 This machine seems to be similar to Nakajima but have a flat drive band instead of a round one. It probably isn't made by Nakajima since Towa seemed to make some machines at the same time. The machine needs another drive belt but seems to function well once pressure is applied to the belt. The typeface is PICA. The backspace mechanism seems to not work and it seems that a part might have fallen out when I took the case off. The return didn't work for a while until I found a small great that moved up and down. I moved it the most down it could go, and it now returns when the button is pressed. The drive belt has been fixed by using a filter o ring, the round one works well for this machine.

I just collect typewriters and adding machines. I like to work on them and get them up and running again.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Towa 1-2-3 Corrector on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Towa Serial Number page and the Towa 1-2-3 Corrector By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
