The Olympia SM9 is a wonderful machine. This is ideal for users that will be writing often and want to invest in an excellent & reliable machine. The exterior is in great shape and the typing performance is wonderful. The bounceback is fantastic and even my small fingers had no problem navigating these keys. Suitable for heavy use. Please watch the demo video for more details.

We highly recommend adding a non-slip typewriter pad to protect your table surface and to keep the typewriter from scooting across the table!😁
Also, a warranty add-on is suggested. Please note that without the warranty, the sale is final.

Serviced, cleaned, tested, new ribbon installed, demo & tutorial videos. Be sure to watch the demo video so you can see how it performs! This uses a Universal Typewriter ribbon, 2-colors. A new black/red ribbon is installed for you. An extra ribbon can be added to your order and future replacement ribbons may be purchased on Etsy or on our website.

(REMEMBER: we professionally SERVICE our typewriters and do NOT replace parts, unless otherwise noted. We do NOT restore or refurbish.)

OPTIONAL 6-MO WARRANTY

If you purchase the warranty option, we will cover any mechanical issues NOT mentioned in the listing or demo video and are a result of regular daily use for 6-months starting from the day our tracking information shows that the typewriter has arrived. We recommend taking out your typewriter immediately and testing it for any issues. This warranty covers performance issues such as broken draw band, stuck keys, space bar malfunction, etc. It does NOT cover damage done to the exterior (chipped paint) or damage from misuse or accidents, such as dropping, banging, improper use. Any attempts to adjust or repair the typewriter on your own VOIDS the warranty. We will always attempt to address issues over the phone or email first. After that, if the problem has not been resolved, we’ll send you a prepaid return label. If there are damages as a direct result of shipping, please notify us immediately and follow the instructions found in our Shipping and Insurance Claim Policy.

Jot & Tittle Vintage Typewriters will cover the cost of repairs and return shipping. The customer is responsible for the cost of getting the typewriter to us for repairs. Our shipping address is: Jot & Tittle Typewriters; 5 Paola Lane; Kimberling City, MO 65686

If the typewriter is unrepairable, we will refund the full amount of the typewriter (less the cost of the warranty or any add-ons purchased). Questions? Please send us a direct message at hello@jotandtittletypewriters.com.
