Fully Restored Olympia Traveller de Luxe Portable Typewriter | Striking Orange & White Finish, Elite Typeface & Cleaned Platen

📖 Product Overview: West German Precision with Vibrant Mid-Century Style Discover the lively retro charm and dependable engineering of the Olympia Traveller de Luxe portable typewriter, engineered in Western Germany. Renowned for its ultra-slim profile, lightweight portability, and snappy key action, this vibrant orange-and-white model is an absolute eye-catcher for writers, collectors, and design enthusiasts alike.

Meticulously overhauled at our UK workshop by Walid & Joujou (featured restoration experts on BBC’s The Repair Shop), this machine has been chemically degreased, segment-flushed, and precision-calibrated to deliver a remarkably smooth typing performance. Featuring a thoroughly cleaned original rubber platen, it is fully serviced and ready to write straight out of the box.

(Workshop Note on Print Optimization: To achieve the absolute best, crisper print impressions on this classic machine, we recommend pairing it with a fresh well-inked black ribbon or a rich purple fabric ribbon).
