1986 Olivetti ET Compact 70 Serial # ETC70 2432 1986 Olivetti ET Compact 70 typewriter, Serial # ETC70 2432 Guillermo Fernandez Boan's 1986 Olivetti ET Compact 70 typewriter. 2021-10-30 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Guillermo Fernandez Boan: 1986 Olivetti ET Compact 70 Serial # ETC70 2432 My first Argentinian made electronic typewriter.
Not just a bigger ETC 60, but a different animal indeed.
First of all, the handle present in the ETC 60 (useful in a portable typewriter) and the beautiful acrylic cover are not present in this one, whose size and weight shout it's an office typewriter in its own right.
And last but not least, there is, underneath the typewriter, an interface that allows this typewriter to be used as a computer daisywheel printer.
Both were designed by architect Mario Bellini's pen.
