I met up with a good friend today for lunch. He is always kind enough to keep me in mind when he’s out at yard sales and such, knowing that I collect typewriters. He recently sent me a text message asking if he should buy this Olympia Traveller DeLuxe for one dollar. I said HECK YEAH!
The 1977 Olympia Traveller DeLuxe SN 5-3260264
Brought it home after lunch. Re-threaded the ribbon correctly (folks notoriously thread the ribbon into the vibrator incorrectly). Rolled in some paper – perfect! A small amount of cleaning and she’ll be ready for the party!
It did cost me slightly more than a dollar, I picked up the tab for lunch. HA! Still a screaming deal! Thanks Bryan. ~TH~
Lucky you! What a good friend and what a nice find.
Yeah, I’m gonna type him a nice thank you note on the critter.
