Description:
Purchased off of eBay in September 2024.
This typewriter is not fully original now. I had some part swapping done with a 1965 SM9 SN#2849256. I wanted the custom painted body and italic typebars moved over to a more solid typing SM9 with keys that weren't yellowed. The custom painted ribbon cover was done by Gerren HotRod Typewriter Co in early 2024.
Ocean View Typewriters did a fantastic job servicing and swapping for me.
Here is the parts list as it stands now after some swapping:
1969 Parts:
Body/serial number
Keys
Paper table
Platen knobs
1965 Parts:
Typebars -italic
Carriage with chrome ends
Alignment guide
Ribbon cover

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.
