1970's Olivetti Underwood Lettera 32 Typewriter

This 1970's Olivetti Underwood Lettera 32 is not just nice to look at it works like a dream. Its low profile and pale green colour would look good in any setting. It is in used condition and has a few cosmetic issues, some paint chips, one side of the carriage got funky from bad storage and the keys show some fading. See pics 6-9
That being said it functions fully without any issues and is ready for you.
Make no mistake, this is a professional’s tool, unlike other portables which are designed for the home user who only has the occasional correspondence to knock out. One can see why this is the typewriter of choice for pros. This little typewriter is meant for manuscripts.
