Description:
Glasgow-built Graphika, no type sample available until I get it running again. Worth noting that the rubbed corner shows Olivetti drab beige under the famous pistachio. The Graphika, according to http://www.machinesoflovinggrace.com/ptf/EuropeOlivetti.html was introduced in 1957, three years after the Lexikon on which it is based. The latter ended production in 1959 being replaced by the less curvaceous Diaspron 82.

I'm an opportunistic collector and user. Yep, I have a habit, but I'm in control, OK?
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Graphika on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Graphika By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
