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.

Can't figure out humans but I can tinker with mechanical things. Typewriter passion has become nearly an obsession. Keep a spreadsheet of my collection and rotate daily typer occasionally to exercise the herd. All my machines are cleaned, lubed, adjusted and in working order. My mentors are local shop owners in PDX.
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.
