Description:
The freebies when you are hunting for other things. I am not sure if that is the serial number. If it is it fits the Nakajima ALL main page. There aren't many ads for this model. All UK and they start in 1990. Something was dropped on it, so the noise cover has a crack in it.
Ribbons and correction tape, unlike the S-D Deville iii Messenger, are plentiful and inexpensive. I pulled a second Glassic Gothic 10/12 print wheel from a dead keyboard Olympia Report.

As with many, the bug is back there somewhere due to an Underwood No. 5. My grandfather was on a small town school board and used one for this. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! The long dormant tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved in circa 2010, Yes a believe it or not story is next, when a Hermes 3000 comes home with the girlfriend from work for free. Yes, free! From there the addiction is full steam. And yes, I now have a No. 5. Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Nakajima ALL AE-580 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Nakajima ALL Serial Number page and the Nakajima ALL AE-580 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
