Description:
I just found this yesterday at an antique store, a dark and almost haunted old warehouse kind of place with tons of OLD stuff. He had a few typers there, and this one really jumped out at me. It needed a very light cleanup and the feed rollers needed some sanding and goop glue to make them round again.
This is such a neat machine in my opinion. That strike mechanism is SO silent. It's really quite nice as a typer. The paint and metal on this one are in such great shape, no rust, no grunge, no major chipping or any flaking. Mechanically it's working great.
Pica typeface.
(new ribbons coming tomorrow, so I'll post a sample then)

I've spent my life as a mechanical and electronics tinkerer, bikes, cars, lawnmowers, appliances, cameras, audio gear, guitars, amplifiers, and pedal steel guitars. I was trained as a typist for 2 years back in the late 70's on IBM Selectric II's. At home I recall my mother having an Olympia SM3. More recently we got our daughter a typewriter for Christmas, and that somehow sparked my own personal interest in these fine and interesting machines. Now it's a habit that just won't quit. Daily searches on Craigslist, frequent trips to antique stores & malls, garage sales, etc. It's a fun and healthy addiction.
