Olivetti Studeo 44 Typewriter

This typewriter is similar to the typewriters we used while stationed in Vietnam in1969 so has some nostalgic value for me. Was glad to have found it. Is in perfect condition but ribbon seems to be old and dried out so will be ordering a replacement not for it soon. Very pleased with my purchase.

Hello Randolph! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review for Olivetti Studio 44. We are thrilled to hear that it holds a nostalgic value for you! That's such a wonderful story behind your purchase! The ribbon we installed new please check if the spools are running from full to empty one it should be helpful being. We are happy to hear that you are so inspired. We hope you continue to enjoy your vintage typewriter and thank you for choosing our product. Warm Regards ♥️

Slim. Racy. Shiny chrome fenders. If we're going back to the Fifties, I plan to fake it 'til we make it: typing recipe cards and indexes, letters and notes-to-self. Thank you for your service with a smile.

I would like to highly recommend this vendor, the product arrived as described and on time. I needed it to arrive by a certain time for a birthday gift and they were accommodating and responsive. The typewriter arrived on time and beautifully wrapped, even with a little typed “Happy Birthday” note. I'm very pleased with the purchase and would without question buy from them again - thank you so so very much!!!

My Olivetti typewriter was delayed in shipping (through no fault of the seller) but when it arrived it was expertly packaged for shipping and arrived in excellent condition. When I contacted the seller about the delay in its arrival, the customer service immediately contacted the shipper and they were able to give me an updated estimate on the arrival date.
The typewriter is beautiful and fun to use.

This is an absolutely stunning typewriter!...

This is an absolutely stunning typewriter! It is in excellent condition, and the sellers included a Tolkien quote and a cute typewriter pin! It comes with an instruction manual, which was helpful as this is my first typewriter.

The shipping to the USA took approximately 1.5 months longer than predicted. I don't blame the sellers for this, as they posted the typewriter in the post VERY quickly. The wait was worth it. Fortunately this typewriter just for personal use - if purchased as a gift, buy VERY early.

The only bummer was the installed typewriter ribbon being almost completely dried out - I purchased a new typewriter ribbon today but am sad that I can't use my typewriter until it arrives.

The sellers are AMAZING. They have been very helpful and kind. This is the only shop I'd consider for purchasing a typewriter.

Anita and Jacek were determined to make sure the typewriter arrived safely, and they took the time to call and troubleshoot some shilling issues. When the typewriter finally arrived, it was everything I hoped it would be. It was in beautiful condition and worked like a dream. I can't wait to get full use out of it!
