Description:
Cleaned , repaired and restored — this early-model SM9 has the Senatorial #71 typeface. Photographed here at my typewriter workshop in Hong Kong. I have restored a couple of post 1970s SM9s but this 1965 model is close to perfect. The carriage glides as if on butter, a light touch and consistent type. Outstanding.

I salvage, repair, restore, and (occasionally) sell typewriters. Not for profit. Not even for pleasure. Typewriters are a lifelong passion. An obsession.

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.
