Description:
Beautiful typewriter, both in looks and to type with. It's a pure expression of the Olympia qualities of precision and durability. I got this barely used machine on eBay for 35 euros. A real steal. There's just one reason why I don't use this typewriter as my primary machine: the carriage shift. Why Olympia took so long compared to its rivals to introduce a segment (basket) shift in its medium portables is beyond me. A real shame!
