I remember lugging it to school and using it to write the minutes during our enterprise economics work. Please bear with me as I had no plan and no idea what to write for this video. Also I haven't used the thing since 2010, so I will excuse myself for not being entirely up to speed with the various button commands.

Oh, an anecdote I heard. A few years back a group of 1st or 2nd graders (7-8 yr olds) were brought into a museum on a field trip. The museum had a typewriter the visitors were allowed to try. One kid went typing and soon ran to tje other children yelling excitedly: "Come! You won't believe it! There's the world's coolest printer there! It prints as you type!!!!"

Sounds like those mechanical gaming keyboards 😂 you cannot type without waking the entire neighborhood 🤣

My grandmother never learned how to use a computer, so she still use an eletrictypewriter similar to your, it's an Olivetti (we're italian, also Olivetti made very nice calculators) et 112 and it also performs font in bold, italics and underlined.

Do you have a copy of the manual or commands for this typewriter?

A friend of mine used to write with an Olivetti Lettera 22.

So cool tbh haha
-
This is incredible! how does it erase?
-
That store feature seems pretty handy. Does it use one of the high yield plastic ribbons? And is it a pin wheel machine? It sounds similar, but also could be a more standard mechanism behind it.
-
Is it a Belgian made machine? I personally didn't know that Esselte made these.
-
What type of inkribbons do you buy? I have an Esselte 100CE that is low in colour…
-
I'd imagine the noise would give you a headache after a while
-
Do you have the manual? I have the same machine, but unfortunately no manual :/ Have been utterly unable to find anything on the interweb :(

I wanted a typewriter but I don't have one

You seriously didn’t show us how you used it tho. You just said what you did instead of showing us! How do you center it?
