One of the nicest portable electrics I've ever put my fingers on, but just don't have room for it.
Good belts, runs quiet, types nice.
Has that nasty repeating "ellipsis" "feature" often seen on SCM electrics, and which makes it all but impossible to type a single period on a forty year old machine.
Overall, lives up to its promise of an Italian Styled machine with German build quality.

I like standards, but will take what strikes my fancy, even if it doesn't strike the Platen.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Lettera 36 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Lettera 36 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
