Presenting to you an iconic typewriter model - Olivetti Studio 42. It is a great model for those - who wish to dive into reliable mid 1940s models - Olivetti typewriters are one of the most common typewriters with great reputation for sturdy mechanics, reliable and relatively easy to maintain. Good for beginners, too. Very easy/intuitive to operate.
*TYPEFACE: English/Swedish QWERTY keyboard. 12 cpi PICA typeface. Meaning there are 12 characters (letters, symbols) in 1 inch (2.54 cm)
*COSMETICS: This typewriter is in good condition! The chrome is still in great condition. There is some oxidation on the inside of the typewriter. The machine is finished off with a protective, museum-quality wax in order to protect the paint from oxidation, dirt, scratches and fingerprints.
*MECHANICS: As with all our serviced typewriters - this one is in great mechanical condition. As part of our servicing this typewriter has been thoroughly cleaned and has received new ink. It is ready to withstand many hours of heavy typing with it's smooth carriage, light keys and sturdy design. It has 2 ink settings - meaning you can type in 2 inks simultaneously. For example - black and red. This typewriter comes with black/red ink and original metal spools. Carriage lock is disabled.
*CASE: The case is in fair/mild condition. Cleaned and polished, it only works for storage. The case automatic lock is not functional.
*OUR RECOMMENDATION: We always recommend this model if you are planning on low to regular use or want to make for a display.
