*1950s White/Cream Olympia SM3

SKU:
$75.00
$75.00
Unavailable
This would have been a great Olympia SM3 if only the frame wasn't interfering with the carriage. A common problem with many Olympia SM3s and SM4s (The very first typewriter I ever purchased had this problem...) The frame is just slightly too high for the carriage to pass without bumping and grinding on the frame on both sides. When the shift key/shift lock is in operation, the typewriter works without any interference. Other than this issue, the typewriter does work fine. It does need a good cleaning (The smooth glossy paint would look a lot better) and a new universal ribbon. This typewriter comes with the key for the case, a touch typing manual, and some correction sheet/paper.
