Description:
This Studio 44 is beautifully clean all around. It feels and types quite well, very enjoyable. It's clearly a very well built machine, precision workings, nice metalwork and finishing, tight tolerances, smooth operation, etc. This one has a pica typeface. It's a well known and well liked typewriter, and I'm really glad to have finally added one to my collection. This one was made in Barcelona, Spain.

I've spent my life as a mechanical and electronics tinkerer, bikes, cars, lawnmowers, appliances, cameras, audio gear, guitars, amplifiers, and pedal steel guitars. I was trained as a typist for 2 years back in the late 70's on IBM Selectric II's. At home I recall my mother having an Olympia SM3. More recently we got our daughter a typewriter for Christmas, and that somehow sparked my own personal interest in these fine and interesting machines. Now it's a habit that just won't quit. Daily searches on Craigslist, frequent trips to antique stores & malls, garage sales, etc. It's a fun and healthy addiction.
