Description:
Was very dirty, but still fully functional, which seems to be a theme with all of the Olivettis I get. The plate/decal from the back is missing. The original shift lock key has been replaced with a dark red key. No carrying case.
Has the old standard Finnish keyboard and 12 cpi Olivetti 84 Bodoni typeface.

I have been looking for ways to spend less time on electronic devices, and because of this I started doing my writing and translation work with pens and pencils, and now on typewriters as well.
I will probably start selling and giving away some of my machines after I figure out which ones are most useful to me. Some people have asked me for a working typewriter, so I have been on the lookout for machines purely for that purpose as well.
Machines sold/given away:
Triumph Gabriele 20
Hermes 3000 (3rd gen., French)
