Tracking a white whale: The path to an Olympia SM4

The forest green beauty in her new home.
The following was written shortly after picking up my latest addition to my typewriter collection (and current occupant of my writing desk), a 1961 Olympia SM4. The woman I purchased this machine from actually came to the Type-In the following day to check out the local typewriter community, which was such a lovely surprise. I'll have photos, scans, and a full report from this past Sunday's Typewriter Harvest as soon as I can get the film developed! Stay tuned and keep typing.

  1. Yep, you got a really nice one there. It was fun that the previous owner came to the Type-In to check out the machine's new life among the weirdos.. :D
