Description:
This 1st series Olivetti Lexikon 80 is one of my most favourite machines. Beside of the glass keytop, it has the wonderful "Simplicitas" typeface (NĀ°0 on the hammers). It was made by a fellow Typewriter Hunter that took the Simplicitas hammers from a derelict and put them on this machine, restoring it as new. Works perfectly.
