Vintage 1965 Olympia SM8 Manual Typewriter & Case:
$127.71

In very nice working condition, keys all move smoothly and return properly. All keys tested in lower and upper case. All tabs, bell, carriage move smoothly.

We are not typewriter restorers so this typewriter is in original vintage condition being 59 years old.

You will need to install a new ink ribbon as it is needing replacing.

I generally cleaned the machine cosmetically but you may wish to do more detailed cleaning.

The serial no. is 3735001

The typeface has 11 letters per inch.

Regarding the case, it is solid. The zip works but on one corner there is a bit of fraying and it can be tricky to pass that area.

One of the cushion sponge pieces inside the case was loose. We glued it with epoxy (see last pic) but you may find it comes loose in shipping however I will have the machine well protected both inside and outside of the case.

There is also a lock switch to keep the carriage from moving.

A solid beautifully made piece of equipment.

Please note:

The machine and case together weigh almost 20 lbs before packing for shipping.

Please keep this in mind when viewing the shipping price.
