Olympia SM9

The Elegant Workhorse

The Olympia SM9 is widely considered the pinnacle of the Olympia design. While some prefer the SM4 and SM3’s iconic stylings, few can deny that the SM9 performs better. One of the primary reasons is that Olympia finally went to a basket shift with this model; all of the prior models are carriage shifted, a sort-of cumbersome leap to the UPPERCASE.

No attention to detail was spared in the making of this typewriter, and because many were produced, we can keep the price within reason.

Features:

• Two-tone ribbon selector.

• 1, 1.5, and double line spacing

• US QWERTY Keyboard

• Precision Engineering

• Relatively soft platens

• Carriage lock for safe transport

• Reliable case that holds up well

• Tab clear and set keys on the keyboard

• Guides and measurements abounding

• Plexiglass Card Holders

• Pleasant-sounding end of line bell (ding)

• Large, ergonomic carriage release lever

A little larger than some ‘portables’, they shine most as desktops, while still being portable. Their steady base allows for precision typing.

While the aesthetic can fell a little ‘office friendly’, I had one of these for 10 years as my primary writer and just gradually grew to love the style.
