1981 Olivetti Lettera 36 Serial # E345446 1981 Olivetti Lettera 36 typewriter, Serial # E345446 David MacGregor Barlow's 1981 Olivetti Lettera 36 typewriter. 2023-01-27 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of David MacGregor Barlow: 1981 Olivetti Lettera 36 Serial # E345446 One of only two electric typewriters in my 100-strong typewriter collection. Like all electric typewriters it is heavier than it looks; and of course it requires an adaptor. I am not a fan of typewriters with wires, but I really enjoy using this machine. Many electric typewriters are loud, overbearingly loud, but not the Lettera 36. A cheerful machine.

I salvage, repair, restore, and (occasionally) sell typewriters. Not for profit. Not even for pleasure. Typewriters are a lifelong passion. An obsession.
