1970 Olivetti Studio 45 Serial # 1535912 1970 Olivetti Studio 45 typewriter, Serial # 1535912 James Grooms's 1970 Olivetti Studio 45 typewriter. 2024-03-21 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of James Grooms: 1970 Olivetti Studio 45 Serial # 1535912 No case queen this one. The left carriage knob is broken-silly flip lever. The left spool won't stay engaged. All in all not bad for one that was used hard and by the looks of the case banged around a bit. I am burning through fine grade polish on all these plastic machines.

The period ads as always are illuminating.

$63 and an SM-9 would set you back $120. So you really think your Studio 45 is comparable to a  machine that cost twice as much?

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
