I consider this an inferior machine in the Olympia line up. The platen has a hollow ring to it and the face alignment is loose. Action is fairly light.

Greetings! Typewriters have come and gone during my life but now I am focused on having the machine that fits the best. I sent off my Corona Standard in favor of a Olivetti Lettera 35 and a Triumph Contessa. I am a project manager by trade and activist by choice, I recently typed a letter to the Mayor to have a greater impact than email. Space requires I limit my collection to 2 machines.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia B12 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia B12 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
