1977 Olympia Traveller de Luxe Serial # 15-4094994 1977 Olympia Traveller de Luxe typewriter, Serial # 15-4094994 Jerry Himes's 1977 Olympia Traveller de Luxe typewriter. 2024-10-01 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Jerry Himes: 1977 Olympia Traveller de Luxe Serial # 15-4094994 Very pretty and types well. Requires a well-inked ribbon just like my SF de Luxe.

Has a couple of issues which need to be addressed: the paper support gets stuck inside and the key for the letter O is sitting too low. Something must have bent inside. The space bar was also not attached properly from the left side, but a tiny piece of Blu-Tack under it fixed that for now.

I have been looking for ways to spend less time on electronic devices, and because of this I started doing my writing and translation work with pens and pencils, and now on typewriters as well. I have noticed that adding typewriters to the process has been beneficial to the quality of the text, plus it's just more fun this way.

I have started selling and giving away some of my machines now that I have figured out which ones I want to keep. Some people have asked me for working typewriters, so I have been on the lookout for machines purely for that purpose as well. As fun and instructive as it has been, soon it is time to finish this collecting and tinkering and move back to my original intention: writing. I hope.

Machines sold/given away:
Triumph Gabriele 20
Hermes 3000 (French 3rd gen.)
Student (Brother) Portable
Optima (Zentronik) Mod. 42
Scheidegger (Olivetti) President
Olympia SG 3 N
Olivetti RITA
Adler Tippa S
Adler Contessa de Luxe
Olivetti Lettera 32 (1972, Barcelona)
