1994 Nakajima ALL 8000 Serial # 23102357 1994 Nakajima ALL 8000 typewriter, Serial # 23102357 Javier Vazquez del Olmo's 1994 Nakajima ALL 8000 typewriter. 2015-07-29 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Javier Vazquez del Olmo: 1994 Nakajima ALL 8000 Serial # 23102357 And now, my typewriter.

Yep, I was given this typewriter as a gift, brand new, back in 1994. By then I was 10, and in all honesty I didn´t care too much about it. I used it a bit at school, and it wasn´t until almost 20 years later when I started collecting typewriters.

By then my grandfather had scrounged it from me years ago. He had a bulky Olivetti Linea 98, and as you can see that´s the story in my profile.

Now, my grandfather still uses this typewriter from time to time. In fact, it´s still a good piece of equipment for the association he runs, but he´s planning about retiring next year, and the writing is on the wall: the typewriter will come back home.

As you can see, it´s not well kept. It´s quite dirty, but it works surprisingly well. In fact, it works like new. Oh, wait, it IS almost new. In 20 years it´s seen little use, and it´s an average to decent typewriter. In fact, I´m surprised. It´s really accurate, and if I had to name a weakness it would be the plastic bodywork which gives an air of weakness. And the sticker with the serial number. I really hate those stickers!

But anyway, I really appreciate this machine. After all, it´s mine.

The first typewriter I saw was my grandpa´s Olivetti Linea 98 at the office. It was just a curio for me. Then I was given a Nakajima, which I didn´t use and my grandfather took it from me because it was easier to handle than the bulky Linea 98. Now I own that typewriter, and I started a little collection in Valladolid, Spain. The Nakajima, which is "my" typewriter only returned home in 2017, almost 20 years later, when he wanted a better typewriter.

A collection that started small grew into something bigger, a nuisace for my family and a great source of satisfaction for me.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Nakajima ALL 8000 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Nakajima ALL Serial Number page and the Nakajima ALL 8000 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
