This typewriter was my Mothers & it is in great shape! It still works! Brother Correct-O-Ball XL-I (aka Model 7300 and sometimes referred to as XL-1) a portable electric ball element typewriter with lift off correcting. Unlike the IBM Slectric, the ball in the Brother is stationary and the carriage moves. Made in Japan by Brother Industries, Ltd. Serial No. D21644444. 1.2A, 60 Watts. The name plate on the front describes it as a Brother Correct-O-Ball XL-I. The label on the back, however, calls it a Model 7300. There were apparently four models which took the same ribbons - 7200, 7300, 7800 and 7900. Sears marketed a similar model with the name "Correct-O-Sphere." It was sold around the late 1970s. The history of Brother is described at Funding Universe and Brother History. Brother is noted for their sewing machines. They started with portable typewriters in 1961 and made the first high speed dot matrix printer in 1971. In 1980 they produced an electronic office typewriter. As can be seen below they produced small electronic typewriters and also typewriter-word processors with a separate monitor. It comes with a cover that snaps onto the top and has a space for the cord. It is in good working condition Free Local Pick Up is preferred as it weights 23lbs & will be expensive to ship. No Returns!!!
