1959 OLYMPIA SOCIALITE

NOTE: This listing includes the TYPEWRITER ONLY. Accessories and/or a warranty are sold separately.

What buttery goodness in this sweet typewriter! Both the exterior and performance are exactly as they should be if it had just come from the manufacturing plant. It's in wonderful condition and a sweet treat to have around. This is a 95 series Socialite. Additionally, the type size is an 11 cpi: not too big, not too small!

EXTERIOR + CASE: Comes with the original slim, black zipper case in good condition. The zipper works. A few scratches on the outside and some marks on the interior. No musty odor detected. 

The typewriter's finish is nearly perfect. No marks, chips, or discoloration except for one TINY chip on the back, right-side corner; simply gorgeous!

PERFORMANCE: A very nice performance for an ultra-portable typewriter. Recommended for shorter writing projects or letters, notes, journaling. Suitable for petite hands as well; however, it is not recommended for fingers with a light touch.

Please see the demo video.

Serviced, cleaned, tested, fresh ribbon installed. Free shipping.

• Shipping can sometimes shift and jiggle items. Most of the time, any impact is minor. That being said, we are happy to help you troubleshoot any issues you might have. If there are any concerns, please contact Rob immediately at hello@jotandtittletypewriters.com.
• You are purchasing a VINTAGE item. Vintage products carry inherent risks.
• Free shipping via UPS. Signature is required. We do NOT ship outside the mainland U.S.
• We professionally SERVICE our typewriters. This means we clean and perform minor repairs. We do not replace parts unless otherwise specified in the description. Our typewriters are technically not considered refurbished or restored. Please read this blog post for more detail.

OPTIONAL 6-MO WARRANTY

As part of this warranty, Jot & Tittle Vintage Typewriters will cover the cost of repairs and shipping the typewriter TO YOU. The customer is responsible for the cost of getting the typewriter TO US for repairs. We recommend using www.pirateship.com for the best rates. 

With the warranty, we will cover any mechanical issues NOT mentioned in the listing or demo video that result from regular use for up to 6 months after purchase—starting from the day our tracking information shows the typewriter was delivered. We recommend taking out your typewriter immediately and testing it for any issues.

WHAT THIS WARRANTY COVERS: This warranty covers any MECHANICAL/OPERATIONAL issues that occur in the course of normal use. Examples include keys sticking/not operating, the carriage no longer working due to a broken drawband or other issue, a space bar that stops working, the paper feed rollers no longer pulling in paper, etc. It also covers motor failure on electric typewriters. These are examples of common typewriter issues and are not an exhaustive list.

WHAT THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER: This warranty does NOT cover damage from misuse, food or drink spills, being dropped, or other accidental damage. Damage such as bent or broken parts is not covered (unless it results from shipping). It also does not cover water damage or any incidents arising from an accident or improper use. Paint or exterior damage is not covered either.

IMPORTANT! Do NOT attempt to repair the typewriter yourself. Any effort at repair on your part VOIDS THIS WARRANTY! This includes opening the bottom or side panels, accessing the mechanics, or making adjustments. Please contact us first, and Rob will guide you as to what to do.

We will always try to address issues by phone or email first. If the problem isn't resolved, we'll provide instructions for returning the typewriter for repair. If shipping damage occurs, please notify us immediately.

If the typewriter is unrepairable, we will refund the full amount of the typewriter (less the cost of the warranty or any add-ons purchased). Questions? Please send us a direct message at hello@jotandtittletypewriters.com.
