Description:
Found at a local junk shop for $20. Missing plastic paper support, but otherwise in very good condition.
My new favorite typewriter though very large and very heavy.
Per Olympia brochure, called Olympia SG 3 L or SG 3 de luxe because of these features:
- paper injector lever for automatic paper feed
- double spacing key
Also of note: margin release key can be used to disentangle jammed type bars.

I'm a novice collector with a very small collection of mostly nonfunctional typewriters. I enjoy tinkering and repairs, so I am slowly but surely putting these typewriters back into service.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SG3 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SG3 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
