1997 Brother PY-80 Serial # D75302222 1997 Brother PY-80 typewriter, Serial # D75302222 Guillermo Fernandez Boan's 1997 Brother PY-80 typewriter. 2022-01-01 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Guillermo Fernandez Boan: 1997 Brother PY-80 Serial # D75302222 I was just looking for the scarcer-than-hen's teeth PY80 ribbon cartridges. Then, in the wild, I found an immaculate Brother PY80 typewriter (brand and model which I already have in my collection) with its original box and.... no less than six brand new Brother cartridges, still in their original cardboard boxes, in mint condition.
Another guy has offered to purchase just the ribbons, an offer which the seller refuses (lucky me!). So, I offer a lump sum and grab the six cartridges (plus the one fitted in the typewriter) AND the typewriter itself.
The typewriter was scarcely used before (perhaps just tested), its batteries receptacle is still factory sealed!
I consider this truly serendipity my collector's new year's present.
