I already own an Olivetti Studio 45 (1967??, teal) and it’s pretty fun, but I’ve recently fallen for the rare Olivetti New Age!
It’s a beautiful machine, y’all. I love all the crazy, funky colors on it!
Unfortunately, they are mostly made in Latin America and I’m rather short on funds. I found a listing on Ebay for $270 and one on Etsy for $300, but these are a little out of my price range. I would still love to be able to purchase one!

While, of course, I am not an expert, I don’t think it’s broken. the whole spring even came out and was in one piece. I also reassembled the case for the mainspring according to the assembly section of the repair guide I bought. I just hope I didn’t do some sort of unfixable damage by opening up the casing!
Thank you for your ideas!

My 1967 (?) teal Olivetti Studio 45 has an issue with the mainspring. I twisted it too far and it got dislodged from the center. I was able to fix that and reset the mainspring, however, now it won’t hold any tension. It will wind about a quarter turn, then click and lose tension. I scoured the internet for hours, didn’t sleep all night, and even bought a $7 repair guide for the Studio 44. Unfortunately, this has not yielded a result. I can attach a video if necessary.
Thanks in advance for the help!
