DESCRIPTION

1968 Olympia SM9 with a longer carriage. This is the pearl white top with green (not turquoise) accents. It has a whopping 15″ carriage! 

There is some sign of wear on the exterior, especially a scratch under the return handle and the paint looks a bit dull (IMO). Overall, it looks good.

Keystroke action works well but does have some peculiarity as it prefers a light hand and slow and steady pace. The font is beautiful and small. I thought it looked smaller than 12cpi but is actually an 11cpi.

Everything is nice and smooth, just like Olympia. ?

Note: the case is in poor condition. We did glue it back together but I wouldn’t trust it to carry the typewriter around very much.
