Description:
Olympia SF 1957 QWERTZ model. Found this typewriter at a local antique mall for a reasonable price. It's easy to type on like the splendid models. The interior still needs a bit of cleaning and the keys have a bit of nail damage. I was able to clean the keys, so that the nail damage isn't as noticablable.

I'm a software engineer in the Chicagoland area. I've been collecting "vintage" vinyl, computers, mechanical keyboards and typewriters since I was a kid. Born into an analog world, but grew up in a digital one.
My wife is a writer and I enjoy problem solving and puzzles, so naturally fixing I fell in love with fixing and maintaining typewriters and she then gets to enjoy all of these machines!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SF on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SF By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
