Hello

I'm desperate to obtain an English language version of the operating instructions for the Divisumma 24 (or the Multisumma 24 that is very similar).
Have German and Italian version and have tried to buy an English version from US via eBay, but it never arrived.
Can anyone help, please?
Also looking for the maintenance manual (again, have the Italian version - but can't speak the language).

Thank you

Andrea Celli

Hi,
this is not a complete manual, but  it gives basic instructions for several machines and ... it is for free

Thank you so much. The description of the various machines is very helpful.
The Office Machines Americana website isn't accepting orders currently. And they're the outfit that hasn't honoured my eBay order!
Trying to translate the Italian version of the instructions, but it's exceptionally slow work.
Thanks again.

I don't have D24 left but I do have Divisumma 26 Operating Instructions and also D26 parts book available.  D26 is newer version of D24 so functions are very similar.
I also have service books for some other Olivetti adding machines.  I'll take offers from anyone for any of these.
Please contact me off-line directly.

This seems a worrying news for me.
Office Machines Americana is the web-shop of Ernest Jorgenson a former Mrachant's engineer.
I had some emails with him and he seemed me a very kind ad affordable person
Now he has been unable to send you a payed item and he wrote that his site "IS NOT ACCEPTING ORDERS AT THIS TIME".
Then I am concerned about his health.

Does anybody have recent news about him?

I received the manual yesterday after a very long wait. But he did mention that he had been ill. Just hope he's OK now.

Hi Grahame,

Sorry to be slow on the response - I haven't been keeping up with the group messages lately.  I have a D24 manual and can send you a scan if you still need it.

Hi Andrea,

I spoke with Ernie about a month ago.  He sounded good despite a few health issues, and was enjoying spending time with his family.  I think the manuals business was getting to be a bit much for him.  He mentioned that he has a family member who will take over for him and that the website would be up again soon.

Hi Mark,
      thank for news about Ernie. I had just few mails with him, but he left me a good feeling.
I'm sorry for my "English" and i hope you could understand me.

ciao, Andrea

Going t  the link related to Office Machines Americana website, it seems to be out of line. Service interrupted? Also searching for a English or Spanish Divisumma 24 user manual.

best regards

If you understand Italian, you could look at
http://digilander.libero.it/giuseppecaltagirone/Brini2.pdf (Tetractys and many other machines)
https://www.ebay.it/itm/182821008436?rmvSB=true (he sells a PDF copy, NOT original)

I may have a parts and service manual for D24.
If there are specific questions about operation, I should be able to
help with them.

Hi, Jay

Thanks for your offer, but I think that a service  manula is too much for me.

Any way, if someone is interested in a Divisumma 14 user manul, you found in here an original one in Spanish language for 20 euros



Best regards


Ricardo
