1975 Olympia SG3 Serial # 7-3194224 1975 Olympia SG3 typewriter, Serial # 7-3194224 Andrew White's 1975 Olympia SG3 typewriter. 2025-07-12 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Andrew White: 1975 Olympia SG3 Serial # 7-3194224 Comes with 18 inch carriage. SG3 came in 13', 15', 18', 24' and 35' carriage sizes, so this is the middle of the range.
Came with original manual, according to which this is an SG3-L "Deluxe" model as it comes with additional features such as double letter spacing, which only works half the time... not sure how to fix that. Types well, but obviously had correction fluid spilled in the segment at some point so keeps getting stuck on a couple keys after not being used for a while. Need to go through and dismantle the segment for a deep clean at some point. The platen is very hard and has a gouge in one part of it, but it works fine with a couple backing sheets.

I'm a graphic designer and printer by trade, living just outside of Newcastle, Australia but I grew up on a sheep farm in central New South Wales. Just down here tinkering with typewriters, drawing pictures, growing veggies in the back garden and hanging out with my fiance and our three cats.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia SG3 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia SG3 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
