Picked up a 1970s Olivetti Lettera 32 today. Iconic, ultra-portable, and popular for a reason. It’s got the same silent margin bell issue I fixed on my Studio 45 — curious to see if the fix translates. Another restoration begins.

Vintage typewriter restoration isn’t just cleaning — it’s parts and history. Sourcing correct screws for a 1964 Royal Safari meant fine threads and metric vs imperial pitch. Full refresh underway. Tonight: diagnosing a silent margin bell on a Studio 45.

Grade 8 typing class. Mad Men. Mechanical typewriters forever.
Found a Pottery Blue Royal Safari (1964) — stored for years, now fully functional and purring. Full restoration next. Typewriter nerd tips welcome.
