Description:
Brasilian made Olivetti, mostly made of plastic, funny little typewriter. Not nearly as bad as some suggest in the ’net, it is different but I like it. The model is fairly new, so less mechanical problems. This one I bought for 10€ (about same in USD) from a thrift store. Seems to have Brasilian Olivetti branded ribbon installed, so probably the original ribbon, and it prints clear like from a cotton ribbon. It is light, it is funny, and you can type with it. If you find a colorful one in good shape for reasonable price I suggest you buy it just for the keks.
