The aesthetic is in absolute pristine condition. The vibrant, fire-engine red housing is completely immaculate, preserving its factory-fresh tone with zero surface scratches, scuffs, or fading. Mechanically, it is a flawless masterpiece. As shown in the typing demonstration, the key alignment is laser-straight and strikes the page with beautiful, crisp density in both black and red ink channels. The carriage glide, line spacer, and margins operate with total smoothness. It comes completely outfitted with its original grey canvas Olivetti transit bag, which features the classic repeating print and is in wonderful structural shape.
