1968 Olivetti Studio 45 Serial # 1300740 1968 Olivetti Studio 45 typewriter, Serial # 1300740 Ted Munk's 1968 Olivetti Studio 45 typewriter. 2014-01-08 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Ted Munk: 1968 Olivetti Studio 45 Serial # 1300740 Found without a ribbon cover at Deseret for $7, I was intrigued by the unique and colorful case, which I hadn't encountered before. Despite the ribbon cover being missing, everything else is intact and the machine types like a dream. Built late in first year of production in Barcelona, Spain and refurbished professionally at some point, according to the labelling. Owners manual and warranty card ephemera were included.

I am a scoundrel without a cause, and my swank outshines the sun.

I am a casual Typewriter Hunter residing in the sweltering deserts of Arizona with a wife, three cats and about 50 typewriters. My main hunting ground is thrift stores, and I rarely pay more than $10 for a machine. My collection consists mainly of portables with cases, and they stay in the cases unless I am actively using it (usually more than one at a time). I do, however keep a handful of interesting Selectrics, including a Composer and a couple of large Nakajima Electronics to use as daisywheel printers for my vintage laptop collection.
