The Olivetti Lettera 32 Manual Typewriter

eBay auction: cgi.ebay.com This is a video that I made for a friend of mine (the guy talking in the video) to help him sell this typewriter. It then occurred to me that even after it sold the video may still be of interest to some people so I’ll leave it available just in case anyone wants a video demo of this particular model or something. Information from Wikipedia: “The Olivetti Lettera 32 is a portable mechanical typewriter designed by Marcello Nizzoli for Olivetti in 1963 as the successor of the popular Olivetti Lettera 22. This typewriter was popular amongst journalists and students. The typewriter is sized about 34x35x10 cm (with the carriage return lever adding about 1-2 more centimeters in height), making it portable at least for the time’s standards, even though its 5.9 kg weight may limit portability somewhat.” en.wikipedia.org
