Step back into 1989 with this fully functional Brother WP-5 Word Processor—a rare survivor of the pre-PC era, now primed for collectors, retro enthusiasts. This Brother WP-5 wasn’t just a word processor—it was the unsung hero of a Dutch doctor’s office in the early 1990s. Imagine:
For years, it lived on a wooden desk in a sunlit clinic near Amsterdam, absorbing the scent of coffee and antiseptic. The doctor eventually upgraded to a Windows PC, but this WP-5 outlasted them all—hidden in a storage room until we rescued it.
