1969 Brother Echelon 77 Serial # B9408702 1969 Brother Echelon 77 typewriter, Serial # B9408702 James Grooms's 1969 Brother Echelon 77 typewriter. 2026-04-04 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of James Grooms: 1969 Brother Echelon 77 Serial # B9408702 Looks like it was designed to have a plastic shell case/cover by the cutouts in the back. Maybe the lower body was used for another model. There are no wear marks to indicate this one was in anything but a soft case. The front body/ribbon cover is clearly a nod to the SM 7/8/9.

Very clean example and a simple service was all that was needed.

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 any one area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
