Description:
A fine example of the classic carriage shift Olympia SM-7. An easy clean with quick shift motion and carriage spring adjustments, then some detail time...boom!
A day of old school hunting in the sticks. I just had to beat off some hipsters looking at MCM lamps who were butting in on my typers. My attorney says a probable cause defense won't be a problem. Don't touch my typewriters...dude!

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SM7 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SM7 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
