Description:
Typewriter is branded Esselte T-2000 on the front (and Nakajima All on the back) but the drop down option does not have Esselte on there.
Esselte is a Swedish stationery company, this typewriter has a Swedish layout: Qwerty but with accented characters.
Guessing 1976 as age based on : First digit of serial number is 6, Labelled Nakajima ALL on back so cant be earlier. Could be 86. Is a very 1970s orange (unscientific perhaps)
Still in the process of clearning and repairing the machine, will update with typeface specimen sample and good pictures when I can.
Typeface is pica. Machine seems in good order apart from 8 kilos of dust inside (was used as deko without cover)
Case is missing.
Return lever is disconnected from escapement. I think I just need to find a spring to reconnect it, but I can only be sure of one of the spring anchor points. If anyone has any knowledge or documentation for this specific machine, I'd be very grateful.

I like typewriters AND rigourous recordkeeping. So I love the Typewriter database.
I currently own 5 typewriters, mostly by accident. I do not currently intend to buy more... but I also did not intend to get 5.
I like fixing them as well as writing on them.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Nakajima ALL 2000 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Nakajima ALL Serial Number page and the Nakajima ALL 2000 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
