Description:
Found at an estate sale; obviously used in the past (Wite-Out and pink eraser shavings in the body) but in great condition otherwise. Some of the slugs were gunked up, but a breakdown and soak took care of that. These machines were so well built, all this one needs is a bit of attention and consistent use.

An old soul in an even older body. Lifelong writer who started on a typewriter, forgot that they existed when computers came on the scene, and then rediscovered their utility (and blessed simplicity!) as a Weapon of Mass Creation. Have owned 10+ but am now limiting myself to 5 machines at a time [UPDATE: 6. May God forgive me], and committing to actually using them on a daily, weekly, or (at worst) monthly basis.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Studio 45 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Studio 45 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
