How to Use an Olympia Traveller Deluxe Typewriter - Full detailed & clear Tutorial

[@Balisades]

This is a beautifully simple and clear guide video. The zoom in window to show what's being operated is very helpful as you explain. You SHOW & TELL, unlike so many others out there. Was looking into buying this model. Thank you!

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Thank you for this guide. I bought one this morning for £5 in a charity shop and it seems to be working fine. I wanted it for my cousin who is in his eighties.

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Nice 👍🏼. Always happy to help

[@gamecodeur]

Just bought exactly the same model (blue 💙). Watching your video is preparing me to use it. Nice,.clear and useful video.

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Great to hear!

[@bywayz]

I'm so glad I found this! I just pulled mine from 1979 out of storage last night. Thank you!

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Thx 🙏🏼

[@yingchin5120]

I just became the proud owner of an Olympia Traveller de luxe S and your incredibly clear and helpful video has meant I was typing away after only a few minutes. Thank you so much. I will be coming back to this video many times in the near future! Love your work!

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Thx ☺️

[@Dante343]

As it's a DeLuxe S, does it have a script typeface?

[@syedkamranhabib2203]

Thank you, for a very thoughtful, and clear, guidance, to users...

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Pleasure

[@janetjenkins2595]

Thank you so much, I couldn’t unlock the one I have just bought. 😁

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Perfect 👍🏼

[@charlesk1655]

Thanks so much for the video. I found the same typewriter at a thrift store today in a white color and the keyboard is Cyrillic 🙂! I really appreciate the tutorial.

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

That is awesome!

[@orcatype225]

Nice Typewriter guide video! I like the use of the windows to show how to activate the controls you were referring to

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

This is always useful as it helps making it clear. Glad you like

[@DaleKnudsen]

Thank you for the useful walkthrough! This typewriter is amazing!

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Always a pleasure

[@lukatrifkovic9750]

great video, thank you very much. got myself an orange one.

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

[@thecryptologist99]

Hi, I have this typewriter and the carriage just won't move. It doesn't seem to be locked and both the ribbon as well as the keys work fine. I was wondering if you know what the problem is, because I feel like I've already tried everything!

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Hi, unfortunately it might be stuck due to issue in a part called escapement under the carriage.

[@RetifsGarage]

Very nicely made video, thanks

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Thx 🙏🏼

[@petercane6376]

Thank you for a very good and clear video. I bought one today. It is in very nice condition but the caps lock does not work. I cannot see how the little lever is supposed to operate. It types fine but I find the keys stiff and they need quite some pressure to work. I used a hair drier to try and loosen things up. It worked ok to a degree. I have also oiled it. I thought it would be a lot freer?

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Pleasure . It will definitely need repair and proper service. Oil doesn’t solve the problem I am afraid.

[@Face.ofsorrow]

You helped me soooo much THANK YOU

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Pleasure

[@misoluckie]

Thank you so much for your tutorial. I just inherited one of this from my mother-in-law. I have a question about the ink, mine seem to dried up. Is there anyway you can refill the ink? And how to switch color between black and red ink?

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Hi Pleasure Switch colour is on right side ( mentioned on video ). Ink usually needs to be replaced. Re inking is not efficient.

[@misoluckie]

@@MrMrsVintageTypewriters thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@BradFonseca]

Great video. I have one further question...how does one access the paper support?

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Thanks, it’s a small lever on the right side.. above the carriage ( right side ) just behind the carriage release. Early models or not exactly not the deluxe version , it was only a pull lever and no spring to push it up.

[@BradFonseca]

Thanks for getting back to me. It looks like the paper support is jammed inside the typewriter. I'm going to get a local typewriter repair shop to look at it.

[@Aloshaladi]

Great! Just got a Olympia vintage typewriter, can't eait to start working with it

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Nice 👌🏼

[@nathaliortiz8792]

Beautiful video ☺ I just got one from my aunt but it is all rusty and I don't know how to properly clean it. Do you have a video cleaning one of this? It would help me a lot! Thank you~!

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Always a pleasure

[@bletheringfool]

Great video. I have one of these (a later one from the 80s) is it possible to completely remove the platen on this for cleaning?

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Definitely. It’s easy. Screws on knobs and bar on the right inside part and then platen can be removed.

[@chronicfish]

Excellent video, thank you very much! Two questions. Are you happy with this model. I found one for 40$ and wanted some advice. Secondly, is the body of the typewriter, plastic or metal?

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Thank you , I love this model. Next week it will be on a special list we are creating … re frames the sides ( edges ) are plastic but securing a metal sides. In the video , it’s the white sides, these are the plastic parts.

[@chronicfish]

@@MrMrsVintageTypewriters thank you so much!! :)

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

pleasure

[@MC-rb6rc]

What is the difference between the S version and the standard Olympia traveller de luxe? Which version are you demonstrating on?

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Excellent question. Main difference is the tab key ( arrow to left ) on left side on the model S. the blue one used Doesn’t have this option. Thank you

[@mennayouseff6386]

Amazing job! In depth and thorough explanation of how to use this particular model. Keep up the great work, you've gained a new subscriber! Where are you and your wife from? I am half Egyptian, so when I heard the accent I was curious!

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Glad to know that. Am happy that you like it. Thank you

[@MUDASSIR5877]

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Please check our website . We have two listed . Thanks

[@ArifIKhan-gg6rx]

Thanks

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Pleasure 😊

[@senorital.5806]

Asta we could say that they are somewhat ecological because you do not spend electricity. 😊

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Definitely

[@senorital.5806]

People should have a typewriter in case they don't have electricity and have to hand over an important paper. Never denigrate that which saved several lives

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Agree

[@juliakocich9404]

And save a copy to the cloud or share it by using your smartphone camera.

[@HHIto]

I don't travel much; I own an Olympia SM8, Letteras 32 (3) & a 22. I write with a Uniball and yellow legal pads for my first drafts. Simple, for a professional "look," I prefer to hire a professional typist.

[@MrMrsVintageTypewriters]

Nice 👍🏼.

[@s.porter8646]

Got mine
