Description:
My 1965 Olympia SM9 with Script #69 typeface. I purchased this off of FB Marketplace in December 2023.
This typewriter is not fully original now. I had some part swapping done with a 1969 SM9 SN#3826247. I wanted the custom painted body and italic typebars moved over to a more solid SM9 with keys that weren't yellowed. Ocean View Typewriters did a fantastic job servicing and swapping for me.
Here is the parts list as it stands now after the swapping:
1965 Original Parts:
Body/serial number
Keys
Paper table
Platen knobs
1969 Swapped-in Parts:
Typebars -script #69
Carriage
Alignment guide
Ribbon cover
Carrying case
Original photos of the typewriter are at the bottom of the gallery

I began collecting in June 2023. I am interested in learning all about typewriters, the different models and the variety of typefaces. My collection spans the decades from the 1910s to the 1970s.
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.
