Description:
A truly great Goodwill find from Northern Virginia a mint condition SM-9 for $25. I actually don't love Olympias as much as many other typists do, but this is the best one I have ever used and unlike my SM-7 I will probably never sell it. The action is extremely light and it comes with pretty comprehensive features. This machine has an inscription in felt-tip marker inside the ribbon cover presumably marking the time of sale.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SM9 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SM9 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
