Olivetti Graphika – Pictures

Olivetti Graphika - Pictures

As promised in my last post, here are
some pictures of my Olivetti Graphika.
As you can see it is in a pretty good
condition with only some minor optical
flaws. The colour is the same pistachio
green as any other Graephika (unless they
are repainted).

Besides these pictures, there is also
another story involving an Olivetti to type
about. I, once again, couldn't resist to
make another addition to my collection
and I went for another Olivetti, namely
a Lettera 32.

I got interested in this specific model
when I read Richard Polt's recommendations
in "The typewriter revolution" and also the
"Top 10 Writerly Typewriters" on
typewriterreview.com

Both rated the Olivetti Lettera 32
among the best choices for portable type-
writers. As I already own a Hermes 3000
which is the third best choice according
to "Typewriter Review", the Lettera 32
which ranks second was the logical next
step. Now I only need to find an Olympia
SM9 to get to typewriter heaven.

More with and about the Lettera in
a next post.

Dear Mono, it seems that you Graphika has a problem with the shift rising and falling. it is probably too slow and would need some attention. Has the machine been serviced recently?
