Seems to work OK small marks on body but generally clean unit.

It's got some slight design differences from yours (for instance, it's got a little plastic thing glued on the right front, right above the keyboard, that says 'made in Italy', in addition to the inscription in the moulded back panel.)<br /><br />It's OK to type with. But it just doesn't compare to the Olivettis. My early 50s Lettera 22 is far snappier, even though its keys need to travel almost a half inch further to get the typeslug to contact the paper. And my Mexican-made 70s Lettera 32, which requires much less force on the keys than the 22, surpasses the K3 in every way. Both Olivettis boast trimmer profiles than the K3. And they're lighter. Let's see: less weight, easier to tote, and more fun to type with. Now there's an unflattering comparison.<br /><br />Rob Neuwirth<br /><br />PS: Congrats all all the great machines you will be displaying in Canberra.
