Description:
Good looking SM5. Types smoothly, and works very well.
SM5 are generally budget models, sold for a lower price, and aren't as good as the higher end models (SM7, SM4). One of the things they skimmed off, are the felt padding on the inside. This means the machine makes quite a lot of noise when used.
To remedy this, I took of all side panels etc., and put on felt of my own. Now the machine is alot more quiet.
The rubber has also been refurbished, making for a good imprint.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SM5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SM5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
