Hello…

Hi everyone and a big thanks for allowing me to come on board and ask a few questions, I really appreciate your time!

I’ve spent many hours searching for information on my typewriter and so far no success. It’s like new condition and very easy to use, but I’m struggling with a few things. I understand that it’s not an expensive model and online information might well not be there, so I’m hoping maybe someone has come across one or something similar.

Olympia 1000 
Made in Italy 
I have a feeling it’s not really an Olympia, but just branding. It looks identical to a made in Italy Rover 1000! Oh, it’s bright orange. The picture is not my personal machine, just something I found online. My is identical in all ways apart from the name.

There is no right hand margin setter? And I can’t work out if it’s an automatic ribbon, basically I haven’t a clue what to do here. I’ve just ordered new ribbons as the one I have on the machine is a little dry…

Re: Hello…

This link might have some useful info.

Looks like it is a China-made piece of low quality crapola...

They are known for using brands without permissions and will put "Made in Italy" fraudulently on their machines.
