Description:
This is a Philips VW 2210 Handy Writer. I have no idea how to enter this into the database when Philips isn't established as a category, so I went the cheeky route and took the brand from the Smith-Corona ribbon cassette inside... I hope someone will come along and fix it, to avoid confusion.
It has a Danish Keyboard and programming - the demo program hardcoded within is Danish.
Not in my collection, but a sighting that I got to play with for an hour or so to assess it. Got a few photos too for posterity, but not a ton.
Everything worked as intended, except the correction tape cassette, which would need to be swapped for a new one.
Sticker inside claims the model to be "5AFC" - frankly not sure what that's about.

Casual collector of replica flintlock pistols, and in that same vein, picked up a couple of typewriters through the years - as a mechanical engineer, I could not resist.
