Description:
Such a beautiful machine to both look at and type on. I own an SM3 and, to me, the touch is identical. This one has a dinky, Ellite 8 typeface which saved it from being flipped and has earned itself a place in my collection. The SM2s seem to be a lot cheaper than the SM3s. If you can do without tabs, then I'd say save yourself some money and get a hold of a decent SM2.

Relatively new to the hobby - My first machine was an Everest Mod 90 that I bought after watching a Violet Evergarden anime in December 2021.
My collection now consists of a nice, round, 40 machines . . . and any new addition will be on a strict "one in - one out" basis.
My absolute favourite remains (just) my 1939 Royal KMM. For me, it's both the prettiest and the "warmest" to type on. It has "Majik" (with a nod to Sandy1)
I count my blessings that I am lucky enough to have amassed such a beautiful bunch.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SM2 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SM2 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
