1932 Olivetti Mikron Serial # 155154 1932 Olivetti Mikron typewriter, Serial # 155154 Milan Berta's 1932 Olivetti Mikron typewriter. 2021-05-13 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Milan Berta: 1932 Olivetti Mikron Serial # 155154 Another of my precious pieces of scrap iron. After basic cleaning, it is almost functional. The typewriter does not move the ribbon because the guide lines on the ribbon guide are broken. Therefore, the ribbon is damaged. The machine needs to be completely cleaned, rust removed and repainted. But it is in better condition than I expected. And I confirm that it is renamed Torpedo 14 and with a changed top plate.

Historical typewriters, cameras, sewing machines, ... - all beautiful things, that work only on the basis of human skill and ability. Therefore, they deserve our attention and respect. I do not want to let those inventions that pushed us forward much faster than we were prepared, them disappear in this way.

Lives in Michalovce, Slovakia. Proud father of two children. Started collecting in March 2020. More a hunter than a collector or restorer. But determined to change it and bring the machines to a new life. Thank you in advance for any of your advice and help. (English is not my strong side, so I use Uncle Google's help. Correct me anytime).
