Description:
My entry into ball type electric typewriters. I didn't want an IBM due to being afraid of not being able to fix one.
And the next choice went for Olivetti when I saw this typewriter for only 20€.
Unfortunately the ribbon cartridge is almost dried up and I am not able to find replacements on the market.
So I need to find a way how to revive the available ribbon.

During my other hobby I came to typewriter collecting.
I am a beginner and very selective about which typewriter to pick. When my restoration skills improve, that may change.
