Description:
Olivetti Lettera 22. (The armless Olivetti) This machine types better than my other Lettera 22's and the body is in amazing shape, but... The carrier return arm is broken. I e tried multiple epoxies and glues to no avail. I have some older machines that never had arms, so the broken arm isn't a deal breaker. Still a joy to use

I'm a software engineer in the Chicagoland area. I've been collecting "vintage" vinyl, computers, mechanical keyboards and typewriters since I was a kid. Born into an analog world, but grew up in a digital one.
My wife is a writer and I enjoy problem solving and puzzles, so naturally fixing I fell in love with fixing and maintaining typewriters and she then gets to enjoy all of these machines!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Lettera 22 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Lettera 22 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
