1969 Olivetti Lettera 33 Serial # 4699063 1969 Olivetti Lettera 33 typewriter, Serial # 4699063 David Small's 1969 Olivetti Lettera 33 typewriter. 2020-08-30 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of David Small: 1969 Olivetti Lettera 33 Serial # 4699063 I purchased this in St. Peter's, MO from Craigslist. At the time of purchase the drawband had come off the carriage, and when I tried to fix that the drawband broke completely, so I fixed it with a 65lb test fishing line. Now I have to fix the bell because it barely rings. I will also probably need to replace the ribbon.

I've been interested in typewriters for some time, but I only recently obtained my first one, an electric, and in short order obtained several more manuals, and only one of the manuals worked when I obtained it.
I travel and am kind of a nomad so I like looking for typewriters, and would like to learn more about fixing and maintaining them.
