OLIVETTI Valentine typewriter ink ribbon replaced

The Valentine typewriter was released in 1969 by the Italian manufacturer Olivetti. Its stand-up case, also known as the "red bucket," is a highly refined piece that takes into consideration not only its design but also its storage and portability. It's no wonder it's included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

There are some small scratches and stains on the case and body, but the condition is quite good. I cleaned as much of the inside and outside as I could, and used an air compressor to remove dust and dirt from hard-to-reach areas inside.

The ink ribbon has been replaced with a new one. There are no problems with key operation, and the keyboard is in good condition for actual use.

Ink ribbons are still available at specialty stores, so you can rest assured that you can use them for a long time. A simple guide to using the typewriter is below, but for detailed instructions, please search for "typewriter instructions" and you will find them.
