Description:
1963 Olympia Splendid 66. This model one was imported from the UK. It is one of my favorite machines before of its size, weight, type feel and features. It feels like a portable SM9. The only downside to typing on this machine is it utilizes a heavy carriage shift.

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 Splendid 66 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia Splendid 66 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
