Hi,

I have an old Olivetti Summa 15 (with 10/11 digits) and am looking for a copy of the instruction manual. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

I really just want to learn how to use it, so even a manual for a similar machine might be useful.

Cheers!

the scans of a flyer i own.

It contains a short manual. But it is in Italian (i hope you can understand)
and it refers to the standard decimal version of the machine.
I suppose that you say "with 10/11 digits" you refer to the English (£sp)  version.

By the way, i too i am interested in a manual for the English Summa-15

Hi Andrea! Thanks for posting that. Unfortunately I can't speak Italian so I am still interested in an english (or german!) version if anyone has it. I should be able to work out a fair bit of the italian though so I'm sure it will help. Thanks again.

I'm looking to sell all my Olivetti service manuals and Owner manuals
but Summa 15 is not with them.

If you have questions about specific keys, you may call me and I'll try
to explain their operation.

I worked for Olivetti service in New York fixing add/calcs.

I have manuals for Olivetti 14, 20, 22, 24 model adder-calculators and many electronic calculators.
Also Manuals for most electronic typewriters, and some electric and manual typewriters.

They are parts, service, user instruction manuals.

What are you interested in?

I'll take offers from anyone who wants them.

Copies of several English manuals could be bought here
http://officemachinemanuals.com/catalog/olivetti.htm

I suppose that Fondazione Olivetti e Apert@mente could sell copies of other Italian manuals.

I too, i've got some Italian Olivetti technical manual's(*).
But not Summa 15 and not for sell.

Instead, i'm interested in a deal. I could give  a scan of a technical manual from mines for a scan of another technical manual i have not.
Obviously, manuals should  have  a similar number of pages.  E.G,, "Contabili classe 24" (three volumes having 393+193+297 pages) cannot be changed with a 20 pages manual ;-)

Andrea

(*) MC 14 NK, Summa 19, Summa 20 Prima,  Summa 20 Quanta, Multisumma 20, Classe  22 (2 manuals), Elettrosumma 23, Classe 24 (3  manuals, 5 volumes), Divisumma 26GT (2 manuals).

Ernie there is a good friend and you may go there for many manuals.

Since I want to clear out most of what I have, I'll offer these at Half
the regular price.
