The Vintage Perkins Mechanical Braille typewriter/stenograph Machine Model B30 is a unique and rare piece of office equipment. Manufactured by Perkins, a well-known brand in the industry, this Braille typewriter is designed for those who require these services. The machine's Model B30 indicates its specific design and functionality, making it a valuable addition to any collection of vintage office equipment or a treasured find for those interested in dictation and stenography tools. I don't know if it's missing any parts or pieces or if it works, but the levers, keys, and knobs seem to operate just fine. Appears to have no rust at all. May negotiate on price so shoot an offer if you like.
