The typewriter that won't leave

1978 Olympia B12 6000215






Compare the off-white back with the very yellow front.



Hard to believe I've had this for 8 years. Kind of frightening, actually. I don't think I'm that old!

I was eager to experience the wonders of Olympia, but I didn't know at the time what this really was. I think I might eventually do a few other feature posts on some of the typewriters I had collected before I began typecasting. But it's not like I don't have a lack of topics…aside from new typewriter features I have a list of 5 fairly interesting items to write on.

The Cursive Olivetti Croquet Coyote

Typed on my new Olivetti Studio 46
The camera is a Kodak Z8612 IS
And it does very well with low light, to my great delight.

Noiseless arrivals, Rotations, & Summertimes

Typo: puck is supposed to be pick. -- I could just name my typecasts after
the dates they were typed on but I actually put effort into naming them, haha.
To you who sent me this big envelope: Tell me if you recognise it!

Ladybug ethics, Rediscoveries, About what heaven is


Yes, my posts are frequent. I try to keep them down to every other day at most, but sometimes I just feel the urge to do another typecast. Someday I'll be down to one post per week and I'll wish maybe I was more dedicated to doing it!
