1964 Olympia SM9 Serial # 2607553 1964 Olympia SM9 typewriter, Serial # 2607553 Tas Kyprianou's 1964 Olympia SM9 typewriter. 2022-10-02 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Tas Kyprianou: 1964 Olympia SM9 Serial # 2607553 A workhorse of a machine that I kind of regret selling on. It just got on with the job at hand effortlessly. It was more of a "make lots of notes on it" kind of machine than a "write poetry on it" machine if that makes ANY sense. Pretty sure I will own one again at some point. *

Also as an aside, I LOVED the M on this typeface. most machines I own have Ms with middle stems that touch the baseline. This one only reached down to the middle of the character. I liked that. . . . it's the little things.
* recently bought an SM7 which suits me a lot better.

The feet had perished and were sharp so I plonked some felt on there to protect my surfaces until I could source new feet.

UK member with Greek Cypriot heritage, living in London.
Relatively new to the hobby - My first machine was an Everest Mod 90 that I bought after watching a Violet Evergarden anime in December 2021.
My collection now consists of 40 machines. Nice round number. Time to stop I reckon. . .

My absolute favourite remains (just) my 1939 Royal KMM. For me, it's both the prettiest and the "warmest" to type on. It has "Majik" (with a nod to Sandy1)
I count my blessings that I am lucky enough to have amassed such a beautiful bunch.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SM9 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SM9 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
