Silver-Reed Seventy- Restored 1970s Portable Typewriter (QWERTY, Elite Typeface)
Bold, colourful, and distinctly 1970s, the Silver-Reed Seventy is a portable typewriter produced in Japan by Silver Seiko Ltd., a company renowned for its durable and stylish machines. With its striking two-tone design in red and mustard yellow, it captures the era’s playful approach to modern design while remaining a reliable tool for everyday writing. Compact yet sturdy, the Seventy was a favourite among students, home users, and writers seeking a dependable machine at an affordable price.
This particular Silver-Reed Seventy has been professionally restored in our workshop in Fuengirola, Spain. Every part has been carefully cleaned, adjusted, and lubricated to ensure smooth, even typing. The machine carries an Elite typeface (12 characters per inch), offering a crisp, elegant imprint ideal for letters, journaling, or creative work. A new ribbon has been installed, so it’s ready to type from the moment it arrives.
