Vintage Brother Deluxe 660TR Portable Typewriter | Two-Tone Cream & Black | Working Retro Writer with Repeat Spacer Hard Case | 1970s/80s

The Ultimate "Action" Typewriter: The Brother Deluxe 660TR

If you are looking for a typewriter with a bit more "tech" than the standard vintage models, the 660TR is the one. Engineered in Japan during the late 70s/early 80s, this model was designed for speed and efficiency. It features the famous Repeat Spacer (the red key on the spacebar), allowing for rapid spacing with a single touch—a rare luxury on a manual machine!

Why Choose the 660TR?

• Repeat Spacer Function: A unique mechanical feature that makes formatting your poetry or letters a breeze.
• Integrated Tab System: Includes a red TAB key for easy alignment.
• Compact Powerhouse: This is one of the sturdiest portables Brother ever made; it feels solid and reliable under the fingers.
• Aesthetic: Finished in a timeless cream and black two-tone, it’s the perfect addition to a "Dark Academia" or retro-themed workspace.

Condition & Quality:

• Mechanical: All keys strike clearly and return quickly. The carriage movement is precise, and the bell sounds great.
• Aesthetic: Clean, well-maintained body with very little age-related wear.
• Case: Comes with its original black clip-on hardshell case for easy transport.
• Maintenance Note: As with most vintage finds, the current ribbon is dry. This machine will require a new universal 1/2" twin-spool ribbon (widely available on Etsy or Amazon for approx. £6) to ensure dark, crisp lettering.
