1971 Olympia SF Serial # 152202554 1971 Olympia SF typewriter, Serial # 152202554 LaDonna Qualtieri's 1971 Olympia SF typewriter. 2023-12-18 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of LaDonna Qualtieri: 1971 Olympia SF Serial # 152202554 This one needs troubleshooting for keys hitting the platen too slowly, or something like that. I cleaned it and changed the ribbon and the keys still feel sluggish. I’ll probably trade this in for a different Olympia Script typewriter. That way it can be repaired properly and acquired by someone else. The paper support got bent during shipping. I had it repaired at Ace Typewriter then sold it in 2023.

I have many pen pals and correspond via handwritten and typed letters. I have a (painful) sitting disability and type while standing- UPDATE! I can also type on an ultraportable I set up on my bed. Typing and collecting machines with different typefaces keeps me busy and happily distracted from the difficulties in life-fountain pens, too, and I can write legibly, in cursive, while laying down. Join me on Type Pals and register for the monthly postcard exchanges. The “Cat Mews” is a quarterly publication of the philatelic topical group Cats On Stamps Study Unit (COSSU), for which I am a column contributor. My cats are Wiffle Wizard and Urushi (Rushi) Blizzard, aka the Blizzard Sisters.


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