Description:
Beautiful machine found in an attic of a purchased house. Thankfully the machine was pretty clean of dust and critters given the situation. The machine has a Spanish keyboard layout featuring ñ, ¡, º, and others.
This machine was built in the Ivrea factory, though I've read many were built in the Glasgow factory as well.
My 82 has damage to the front right corner of the machine, likely from shipping or a bad drop onto a table at some point... it also is missing the plastic folding attachment which holds / measures the progress made on the paper being used.

An amateur collector of Olivetti machines, with a few understandable exceptions to this rule.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Diaspron 82 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Diaspron 82 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
