1971 Eatons (Silver Seiko) 400 Serial # 11374317 1971 Eatons (Silver Seiko) 400 typewriter, Serial # 11374317 Issac Liu's 1971 Eatons (Silver Seiko) 400 typewriter. 2025-10-26 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Issac Liu: 1971 Eatons (Silver Seiko) 400 Serial # 11374317 Eaton 400 purchased for 10cad in Toronto, Canada. For portable use in a car. Perfect paint condition, carriage came stuck but loosened up with 3 drops of break-kleen. Boring typeface for typing out forms on the fly. Also the @ and the 1/2 bar are bent, I have to file them thin to make them work correctly.

Carriage lock is integrated into line spacing - to lock move carriage to left, push line spacing to top position and slide the carriage right.
