Lili - On Olivetti Lettera 32

[DemitriRas]

I love the old machines; one time however I bought an 5A, A5 whatever Corona electric; I click a key; it takes a week for the wheel arm to hit the paper. To hell with that! I'll stick with my Olympia thanks!

Was wondering if anyone would catch on to that. And you're right about the left one - except I still have it, I just never use it when I type.

[jjovereats]

Why do you only have nine fingers? Was your left thumb chopped off somehow?

[johnrk556]

You do quite well on that little Lettera! These little machines aren't tolerant of bad rhythm because of their small type segment. I have a couple of little Olivetti and Hermes portables and I tend to jam them-thanks!

[Phantom95music]

im sorry but whoever doesnt like the thrill of spelling something right on these (especially with no effort involved) and the noise they make has not lived XD

[plungerdrum]

There is but one thing I hate about your videos worstwriter... They go out of sync :( But, otherwise great!!

[muskndusk]

I like the way you're doing a "hunt and peck" technique needed for manual typewriters. Maybe that's why some of the youtube demos of them fail and jam the keys: because they're using a flatter, laptop typing technique.

I have a Remmington Rand, A Royal 10, Rex Visible, Royal KMM, Brother Electric, and Royal Standard Portable("O").

i just got 1 of these but it hasnt got any ink?

can u tell me how to change it?

[TheMike894ftw]

Well, you CAN touch a fountain pen to it. Or you can unhook it and insert the new one the opposite way you took the first one out.

[Bobman4671]

Which one was your first?

[Bobman4671]

I have a Ollivetti Underwood Studio 45. Types well.

[jmorton528]

I have an Olivetti Lettera 22, 25, 32, and Studio 44. Except the one in this video is a German machine.

i've got this typewriter!! although i need a new ribbon, it running out and i can only type in red, black is really faded

[tactteam00]

does this only type letters?

[Morahman7vnNo2]

It also does numbers.

[tactteam00]

does this only type letters?

[TheMike894ftw]

No, it types numbers, too.

[dwillson1]

Old school!

Love it!

[ubersweetponage]

I have a lettera 22, very similar. I use it for some school work and informal typing. It works very well now that I put cooking spray on it to grease the part where the letters join, so now it doesn't stick.

[PoconutPirate]

I love the clickity clack of typewriters!

[theflyingglove]

I often use my typewriter to put down thoughts, or letters to people I know which I don't intend to send to them, to get a better clear idea of what I think or think about people. The lack of easy editing leaves you with what you naturally write, not what you've doctored to be your desired or less spontaneous thoughts as well

Enjoying the videos, I love typewriters :)

[TheMike894ftw]

:D Me, too. I like just to punch(Not literally)

out my thoughts onto my Underwood #5.

Or one of my other 7. It just feels so much more easy to get 'em out of my head.

[meedily]

Loved it. I'm getting a Lettera 32 myself. I currently have a Smith Corona Sterling (1940s) and it's smooth as hell. I'll post a vid of it soon.
