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.

The jacket was beautiful but arms soo short for me - so it made a good gift for a friend
The typewriter arrived from Europe to the US sooner than scheduled which was a wonderful surprise. It was carefully wrapped so there was no damage at all. It was exactly as shown in photos online. All of the keys and functions work perfectly and I’ve been using it regularly with no issue. Highly recommend this business if you’re looking for a stress-free vintage purchase!
