Description:
Olivetti Lettera 25. This is the plastic brother of the Lettera 35(l). It feels cheaper and has less features than Olivetti's other Typewriters. No touch options, tabbing, paper guide, cheap plastic keys, etc.
With that said, it is a reliable machine. The carriage return lever is similar to other Olivetti machines. Many Olivetti's are plagued with escapement issues, but if your Machine doesn't have those tote of issues, this machine will serve you well.

I'm a software engineer in the Chicagoland area. I've been collecting "vintage" vinyl, computers, mechanical keyboards and typewriters since I was a kid. Born into an analog world, but grew up in a digital one.
My wife is a writer and I enjoy problem solving and puzzles, so naturally fixing I fell in love with fixing and maintaining typewriters and she then gets to enjoy all of these machines!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Lettera 25 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Lettera 25 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
