Man, you lose one of these and your life is over... I have two Olivetti’s missing their ribbon spool nuts/screws and the typewriters are worthless without them.
Anyone have a parts source in the U.S. I can hit up?
Or extra nuts lying around you want to send me for a modest charge?
Thanks in advance,
Laura

I don't like doing anything that looks like advertising on here, but I repair typewriters professionally. This is a common problem, and I can supply brand new reproduction Olivetti Spool Nuts by post worldwide. If you would like a pair, or two pairs, send me a private message and I will work out a price including Air Mail postage and PayPal fees. Problem solved hopefully !

Tom (thetypewriterman) is most circumspect -- all too uncommon these days! But if I'd seen the original post before he did, I'd have provided a link to his site.

Thank you, problem solved.
