It's Amazing!
It's Perfect!
It shines, it sparkles, it's "just a space")
I wanted Olympia M8 for a very long time.
But despite the fact that is one of the most common office typewriters in Russia, I can't buy it)
Usually they are very tortured, or have unimaginably huge carriage, or lost spools, or obscenely expensive. And find Olympia with original wooden case - is a miracle.
It cost me about $ 40.
I had to ask a friend to transport it to me from the other end of Moscow. The machine is very heavy - about 20 kilograms with case.
She almost was not in use. The previous owner said it spent the last 30 years in the attic.
This machine has no disadvantages - it is one big and heavy dignity)))

Hi everyone!
I'm Sergei, I was made in Russia)
A psychologist, a collector of all sorts of vintage junk, typewriters, alarm clocks, and so on.
I love typewriters, and typewriters love me))
I wouldn't call myself a HUNTER - I just love typewriters, use them and collect some of them.
