Working after reseating the ribbon cartridge. </p><p>1970s Olivetti Lettera 32, Spotted by a friend in a charity shop, it did cost £ but gifted to me. Needs a bit of TLC, but working once the missing ribbon spool thumb knob was removed from under the jammed carriage. </p><p>Photo from the charity shop. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Typewriters" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Typewriters</span></a></p> @TonyJWells@mastodon.social And don’t lose that little knob.
