No.50: TOTD - Olivetti HD550
Electronic typewriters are nice, they do a lot of things but they are prone to two serious problems: 1) they have ribbons that are VERY hard to replace; and 2) if they break no-one has the ability to fix them. Because of this I only have about five in my collection and as they develop problems I just throw them in the dump. I can put up with electro-mechanical models but electronic machine are a lost cause to maintain. This machine is still running so it is still part of my collection. Here is a picture:
All the best.
