No. 50: Typewriter of the Day - Olivetti HD550

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.

a 600 million Euro fine for Ireland?  Wow.  This is why the idea of the European Union may have passed; no one can afford to be a member.

So the Greenies are concluding to shake down or shut down the Oil Industry.  This is very interesting and will give you hope that the courts are not just political actors.  The quest for money in the name of Green is never ending but now may be considered racketeering.

One thing you must remember - don't end up in court in Louisiana, the out of state guys always lose and lose BIG. Luckily there is the SCOTUS.

I only have a few electrics in my collection, I never used them except at the office when I was working and Computers chased them away to storage rooms pretty quickly.  This machine I picked up because it was so cheap,little did I know I couldn't get it running well, it seemed very slow on the carriage return, when I opened the case so it had to have an appointment with Eustac.  He fixed it and I decided to keep it, it was again a time capsule with the operating manual and the warranty card still in the case.  I am going to have to use it more.  Here is a picture for your viewing pleasure.

I tried to find someone who had used this typewriter for their writing but no joy.  If you know of a writer that used this machine let me know please.
