Description:
The first Olympia SM that I found at a thrift store - a $5.99 carriage locked special discount from a local Goodwill in 2011. Named "Doris Day" & Claimed by Tori as soon as I got it cleaned up and relegated to her art room ever since. I'm reclaiming it now since she doesn't ever use it. She can still say it's hers, but I'm keeping it in the Corral so I can keep it in rotation. (:

I am a scoundrel without a cause, and my swank outshines the sun.
I am a casual Typewriter Hunter residing in the sweltering deserts of Arizona with a wife, three cats and about 50 typewriters. My main hunting ground is thrift stores, and I rarely pay more than $10 for a machine. My collection consists mainly of portables with cases, and they stay in the cases unless I am actively using it (usually more than one at a time). I do, however keep a handful of interesting Selectrics, including a Composer and a couple of large Nakajima Electronics to use as daisywheel printers for my vintage laptop collection.
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.
