Description:
A competent lightweight portable. In 1983, it would set you back $125, or you could buy your mom's SC Classic 12 for $170 and lug that thing around. One of the many reasons SC is DOA by c 1983 along with the venerable Classic 12.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to any one area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia (Nakajima) B12 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia (Nakajima) Serial Number page and the Olympia (Nakajima) B12 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
