Description:
Found locally online auction. Slight cleaning was all that was needed. Not a single screw slot is buggered which indicates it was never serviced and from the condition probably lightly used. Someone scratched drivers license # in 2 places. Platen is still somewhat pliable.

Started collecting in 2022 after watching California Typewriter. I have always been a mechanical tinkerer and find that these machines are most fascinating and can be worked on a bench top. Unlike old trucks, motorcycles, really anything with a gas engine that used to hold my interest.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SM8 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SM8 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
