The Typewriter in the Room

In the late 1950s, deep within the exquisite landscapes of Italy, a revolution was quietly brewing. Little did the world know at the time, but a typewriter unlike any other was about to make its grand entrance.

This is the story of the Olivetti Graphika, a typewriter that defied convention and pushed boundaries. A typewriter ahead of its time. 

I have something truly special to share with you. If you're a fan of football and typewriters like me, then you're in for a treat. We'll be diving into the world of the Olivetti Italia 90 typewriters, a unique fusion of my two passions.

We previously sold this Royal Arrow with an Embossing U.S.A - M.D. On it but this special typewriter was destined to make its way back to us. 

This blog has been a work in progress for a while now as I felt like it is about time to make a point and give solid reasons & facts to justify buying a typewriter & using it when and where we are swamped with technologies and digitized electronics that are supposed to make our life easier.

I have always felt like the list of the most overrated typewriters has to be prepared and make sure everyone knows what is my opinion about these typewriters .

After nearly 5 years of repairing and restoring typewriters, I can now confidently share with you the top 10 worst typewriters to work with when it comes to repairing, restoring & final performance.

The list will include some typewriters that are literally banned from entering our workshop and I will personally not bother investing in them even if in new condition. 

 

The imperial typewriter restoration is a delicate process and we loved sharing it with you.
