Description:
Purchased online, it comes with an AZERTY keyboard and an 18-inch (46 cm) paper tray, allowing for the use of paper up to A2 size (42 cm wide) or Arch C, ANSI C (17 inches wide).
Unfortunately, the Caps Lock key is missing.
The rubber on the cylinder is in good condition and still flexible, but the rubber on the support rollers is heavily cracked.

Taking apart, examining, and restoring objects from the early 20th century—such as small clocks, calculators, typewriters, and radios—is a great pleasure for me.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia 8 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia 8 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
