1974 Olivetti Lettera 32 Serial # C217844 1974 Olivetti Lettera 32 typewriter, Serial # C217844 Tas Kyprianou's 1974 Olivetti Lettera 32 typewriter. 2022-10-02 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Tas Kyprianou: 1974 Olivetti Lettera 32 Serial # C217844 These little Letteras are incredible. They type like no other machine I own. SO fast, so accurate, so pleasurable. They are really small too and yet love being put through their paces.
This was the first Lettera 32 I owned. They are brilliant little typers and really easy to work on inside if you ever need to. Watch out for the cases though. Their zips are pants.

The hammoered finish is WAY nicer to look at and to touch. Far more resistant to scratches too.

These bases are MUCH easier to remove than the push-stud style ones.

UK member with Greek Cypriot heritage, living in London.
Relatively new to the hobby - My first machine was an Everest Mod 90 that I bought after watching a Violet Evergarden anime in December 2021.
My collection now consists of 40 machines. Nice round number. Time to stop I reckon. . .

My absolute favourite remains (just) my 1939 Royal KMM. For me, it's both the prettiest and the "warmest" to type on. It has "Majik" (with a nod to Sandy1)
I count my blessings that I am lucky enough to have amassed such a beautiful bunch.
