【Extremely Rare Unit, Printing Test Completed】

This is the LM-5500 Kakuzo lettering machine, a professional-grade model from MUTOH.
This was a high-end, precision instrument with an original price of approximately ￥180,000-￥200,000. This particular model is an upgraded version that supports Kanji input. Ideal for creating drawings that require a warm, handwritten feel.

● Product Condition
? Exterior: No significant damage to be concerned about. It can be described as excellent condition for an item of its age. It appears to be a product from the early 1990s. For a precision instrument over 30 years old, its exterior and operational condition are exceptionally good, suggesting it was carefully stored.

? Operation: Both power and LCD display are in good condition. A printing test with a pen attached was also performed smoothly (please refer to the image showing the use of a MUJI Polycarbonate Ballpoint Pen with Rubber Grip, 0.7mm, Black). There are no dead pixels on the LCD or faded characters.
? Functions: In addition to alphanumeric characters, the Kanji mode can also be selected from the menu.

● Accessories
? MUTOH Genuine AC Adapter (DC12V 1.7A)
*Pen is not included. Everything shown in the images is included.

● Important Notes (Sold As-Is)
This unit is a specialized piece of equipment with a precise mechanism.
While it is currently operating as shown in the images, it is a very old product, and fine adjustments may be necessary depending on the operating environment and the type of pen used. We guarantee initial operation upon powering on, but due to individual differences and the fact that we are not the manufacturer, we will be selling it as-is. We cannot provide setup support or address minor issues after delivery. Please consider this purchase only if you understand the characteristics of retro equipment and are capable of making adjustments yourself.

● As we are not the manufacturer, there may be oversights in the descriptions or confirmation points. Please check all details in the photos and research thoroughly before purchasing.
