Ironic. I just took delivery of one of these machines today and upon searching came to your site -- exactly one year later. I just had to post a comment. It looks like you have one nice machine. I was skeptical when I bought my B12 for a grand total of less than $25 shipped. It looked nice & I did not know the model. I was surprised it is Japanese, even more so at the nice feel when typing and everything works fine. These are nice machines even though I like older things.
If I remember correctly, the B12 is the manual typewriter that is completely broken down in the Hutchinson Typewriter Repair manual.
ReplyDeletePretty cool!

It's an incurable disease, I'm tellin' ya.
Always fun & interesting to hear about a model I haven't heard of before. B12 sounds very HEALTHY! ;-)
