Description:
Olivetti Lettera DL. I had bought this Lettera DL on eBay. It required very little cleaning and was in complete working order. It is one of the first plastic bodies Lettera's that Olivetti produced. It doesn't feel cheap like a Lettera 25 and isn't as heavy as a Lettera 35. It essentially feels like a Lettera 32, but with a solid grey plastic body with black vinyl wrapped around certain parts. It's a classic look that is a joy to type on.

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.
I enjoy problem solving and puzzles, so naturally fixing I fell in love with fixing and maintaining mid century typewriters. Today, we generally stare at screens throughout the day, but I've found it's very therapeutic to turn off my phone and fix some mechanical machines.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Lettera DL on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Lettera DL By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
