I too am looking for an Olympia Traveller Deluxe, but, the only one I can find in Cebu is p5500. That’s so much more then the one you bought.

Am in love with typewriters too! I love the clickityclackity sound it makes, the need to press the keys harder than the usual computer keyboard, the appearance of the letters with serifs mmmm :)
Mine is a green olivetti from my mom. She used to have around 5 typewriters before, different colors, one even typed in cursive! Sadly, this is the only one left, all the others were given away. Anyway, typecasting looks fun. Must give that a try someday. :)

Have a lovely day!

UGH, this entry sorta makes me hate you a bit, Ate Riz. Now I want my own typewriter!!! Ha ha ha. I’ve jumped on the whim of sending snail mails just lately, so I guess the logical thing to do next is get myself a typewriter for more old school feel! :P

I’m glad you recognize this as your first typewriter. The bug has bit, and before you know it you’ll have a collection!

I personally think $250 + shipping for a Hermes 3000 is a bit much, even if they claim that it’s been cleaned, adjusted, and oiled. But then, it’s not like it’s easy to return or get repaired if you roll the dice on eBay and get a clunker.

Welcome to the world of typecasting!
