Description:
The Brothers are coming at me fast! A Deluxe 905, which is same as the other early wide carriage machines that are "JP-3" in your drop down. I think there is another one for them as well, but I will get back to that later.
The latches that hold it in the case were smashed flat, so it was bouncing around. The rear panel is bent up a little. The mainspring and escape have issues. I found the silencer spring in the case. I have a 510D for parts, so we shall see.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Brother De luxe 905 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Brother Serial Number page and the Brother De luxe 905 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
