This typewriter just in, an Olivetti Lettera 35i from the 1970’s. Made in Mexico. You can read the full story here.
@bradenslen Very nice. I have a Lettera 22 en route. It's from a random eBay person, though, so who knows what shape it will be in. Price was right, though.
@petebrown Wonderful! A Lettera 22 is on my wish list if I can find one that isn't too beat up. Please post pics when you get it.
@bradenslen I definitely will. I’m expecting it will have some scrapes and dings, and also that I’ll need to take it in to my local shop for some refurb.
@petebrown Ah yes, that local typewriter repair shop...
I really hope you got a good one that does not need a lot of refurb. That means there is hope for me.
@cheri Thanks. Yeah the color is nice and I kind of like the style. I've not done any serious typing with it yet. eBay find.
