1991 Brother LW-30 Serial # K16455194 1991 Brother LW-30 typewriter, Serial # K16455194 Pekka Sallinen's 1991 Brother LW-30 typewriter. 2024-01-20 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Pekka Sallinen: 1991 Brother LW-30 Serial # K16455194 Being developed in 1985 (source: http://cowlark.com/cpmish/arch/brotherop2/README.html) and based on the serial number data this machine must be from 1991. Works, but display shows some LCD rot, as they often do. Uses a peculiar 3.5 inch floppy disk format not compatible with basically anything, but luckily I got a disk with Tetris on it with the machine, very entertaining. As most brothers this one has the typical daisy wheel "Prestige 1012" compatible with CE and AX models and others.
