1977 Olympia Report electric Serial # 7148285 1977 Olympia Report electric typewriter, Serial # 7148285 LaDonna Qualtieri's 1977 Olympia Report electric typewriter. 2024-11-02 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of LaDonna Qualtieri: 1977 Olympia Report electric Serial # 7148285 Arrived DOA so no type sample. It appears to be Elite and has the marking “1o†with a logo that looks like a pair of uppercase Rs mirrored spine to spine. The warranty card shows a sale date of February 13, 1982, so it probably sat on a shelf in the store from 1977-ish until sold. Any information about the typeface markings is welcome, as well as where I might find new belts.

I have many pen pals and correspond via handwritten and typed letters. I have a (painful) sitting disability and type while standing- UPDATE! I can also type on an ultraportable I set up on my bed. Typing and collecting machines with different typefaces keeps me busy and happily distracted from the difficulties in life-fountain pens, too, and I can write legibly, in cursive, while laying down. Join me on Type Pals and register for the monthly postcard exchanges. The “Cat Mews†is a quarterly publication of the philatelic topical group Cats On Stamps Study Unit (COSSU), for which I am a column contributor. My cats are Wiffle Wizard and Urushi (Rushi) Blizzard, aka the Blizzard Sisters.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia Report electric on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia Report electric By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
