Brother EP-5 Portable Electronic Typewriter and Case (B-Grade)
The Brother EP-5 is a compact electronic typewriter introduced in the 1980s in Japan, designed for convenience and mobility. Housed in a slim black plastic body, it combines modern electronic features with the reliability of Brother’s engineering. Compact enough to resemble a small briefcase when closed, it was one of the earliest battery-powered typewriters to bring word processing functionality to travel and field use.
This model features a full QWERTY keyboard, LCD display for text preview, correction memory and automatic paper feed. It uses Brother’s interchangeable cartridge ribbon system for clean, consistent typing and includes a built-in carrying case for easy transport.
This machine has been fully serviced, refurbished, and tested — ready to type right out of the box. Expect normal cosmetic wear consistent with its age, as well as a missing paper support, broken tabs on the top cover and some deeper marks in the bottom plastic.
Every vintage item we restore has a story, and we take great care to preserve its authenticity. Our trained technicians carefully inspect, clean and service each piece, retaining original components whenever possible. When necessary, we incorporate high-quality replacement parts to ensure reliability and longevity. The result is a thoughtfully restored vintage item that’s fully functional and ready for a second life.
Please note vintage items will show signs of previous use. While we carefully restore each piece to ensure full functionality, cosmetic wear and slight variations from the product photos should be expected.
