Description:
The middle of the range Splendid, the 66 is the closest in terms of design and features to the original Olympia SF. What separates the two models is a ribbon colour selector, which the SF doesn't have. The slightly heavy action this particular machine is guilty of is not indicative of the SF range, and I'm willing to bet that it would be a more compliant typer after a little routine maintenance.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia Splendid 66 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia Splendid 66 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
