Description:
Wide carriage. Pica 10 with 61 cast into slugs. Surprising condition overall.
Had to re-attach the drawband, it had somehow fallen off the carriage end.
Keyboard action is excellent, very precise and fits my hands perfectly, standard US keyboard.
I don't prefer the wide carriage, it's just a bit more than needed. Platen rubber is 34 centimeters, that is 13 and 3/8 inches, good rubber.

Retired to the quiet of rural Nebraska to contemplate nature.
Typing down thoughts, prefer that to handwriting.
Not really a collector, just like to tinker on mechanical things.
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.
