Olivetti Underwood Vintage Lettera 35i Typewriter - Working Red/Black Ribbon. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
I’m not an expert on vintage typewriters, but I can tell you that all of the functionality seems to be in perfect working order. Comes with functional red/black ink ribbon. No box or manual but I’ve included an expanded description below which includes a link to the manual. Contact me if you have any questions. Enjoy!
“Here's a futuristic-loo...king Olivetti Lettera 35i which was made sometime in the 1970s in Mexico. The Lettera 35i has the same identical mechanism and inner workings of all the other Olivetti portables of the same era (and a decade prior), but with a streamlined, all metal body. Despite what this machine is, and considering that other portables usually had all plastic bodies, this typewriter is surprisingly solid and heavy. Unfortunately this machine does not have a carrying case, so it's best fit to stay at home on a desk. The Olivetti mechanism is nothing too special or noteworthy, but it is very reliable and can be worked heavily and frequently, although it wouldn't be my very first choice to write something like a novel with. Just as with other Olivetti machines, this typewriter does not use universal ribbons, however it accepts any of the Olivetti Lettera series ribbons (common on eBay).
