This is an 80s Olivetti I found in a thrift store and purchased for 10€. Its fully functioning and a pure joy to write on. Just listen to that daisywheel slapping that paper.
Was told on Typewriters@lemmy.cafe to post my Olivetti here

How delightful! Does that have MX switches or something more exotic? Either way I love to see it!

Have not dared to remove any keys to look. But its very pleasant to type on. Like a softer & thinner version of the keyboard on my IBM 5155

All olivetti switches are safe to remove key caps from by just pulling straight up, I use bent paperclips but you can pry them up with a butter knife underneath too. A picture of the switch underneath the key cap would probably be enough for me to identify the switch.
Outstanding IBM board there! Lugables are so cute and having a full powered model F capacitive buckling spring keyboard attached is just gravy!

What's wrong with a keycap puller?

Oh nice! Big thick double shot key caps with rubber domes. That probably has a delightful sound to it!

Indeed it does!

I will take a picture for you when I get home from work. So in about 6 hours.

Wow it sounds wonderful but personally I would not dare to write on a typewriter due to the amount of errors I do typing in real time. I would be more annoyed than anything else (and on this short comment I got the autocorrect around 5 times... Brilliant)
