OLIVETTI P602 SERVICE MANUAL NEEDED

[harrimansat]

Hi anyone knows where I can find a service manual copy of this thing, Olivetti P602

Wow! This seems like a real piece of history, probably the descendant of the legend Olivetti Programma 101.

This is by all accounts a museum piece. Matter of fact just found a museum that wants one

Hello,

I have an Olivetti P602 that I am now looking at restoring.  I am wondering if you ever found the manual?

If you'd like the documentation I have, I have scanned it at:  https://vintagecomputer.ca/files/Olivetti/P602%20Microcomputer/

Hope this helps you (if you still have it).

Are all the belts in good condition?  When you power it on, does the light turn green?  Can you type in and add two numbers?  You don't need cards right away for it until the basics work.
