Thrift store find. Had to clean white out. Some roller cracking.
Plastic paper guide in good condition. No paper injector.
Elite typeface Olympia 87
Platen width 13 inches
Mostly works. Needs alignment.
Some degradation on top surfaces and chromed parts from exposure to moisture.
Carriage return has ratchet noise, but rails are smooth. Will tinker more later.

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 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.
