Description:
Seems to me that the Olivetti Studio 45 S is a cheaper version of the Studio 45, because it lacks the red tab key and other features - but that turquoise look is great. I get this Typewriter with a missing left shift key and can't resist to create a key with a little steampunk style element. In my mind this a Typewriter which I expect to play a role in a 1970s Adriano Celentano movie. Shiny plastic body and fun to type on.
I call this machine my "Dona Jimena" ;)

My Name is Markus Cremer and I'm a german author of Steampunk, Fantasy and other stuff. From Steampunk to Typewriters is only a small step. Together with my young son I'm building Steampunk robots and other crude installations - and I'm pretty sure that the neighbors on these things looks with a mixture of unbelieve and rolling eyes . My son wished (and gets) his own typewriter Erika 42 from Santa Claus in the age of four years. Books, Now he typed small storys on his Erika. Typewriters and Writing are always present in my house, which is located nearby the old city of Aachen (Cologne is 50 miles in the east - the border to the netherlands only 9 miles in the west). The house is as old as my Torpedo 6 Typewriter and both in a pretty decent shape. My collection of Typewriters is small but slowly growing. The main concern for me is the usability of the machines so I write on them - not the whole novels (my novel "Archibald Leach und die Monstrositaeten des Marquis de Mortemarte" ends after 145.000 Words), but i love to use the Typewriters for short fiction, character sketches or plots.
The video series from Joe Van Cleave led me find this site. So... I hope I can participate and contribute my small amount to this incredible database.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Studio 45 S on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Studio 45 S By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
