Description:
This '71 Lettera 32 is very clean and types great. Made in Barcelona. These are just great little machines. Excellent precision and build quality, wonderful typing action/feel, compact, etc. A common machine, and a nice one. Unfortunately this one didn't come with its case, but the price was right at $20. The typeface is a 10-pitch pica.

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.
