Vintage Olympia Deluxe SM4 1959 Typewriter Inc Case Serviced Tested Working Mint

THANKS FOR LOOKING

VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A VINTAGE (1959 I THINK) OLYMPIA DELUXE SM4 PORTABLE TYPEWRITER IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION - IT LOOKS AND PERFOMS AS NEW!

WE USUALLY SELL THIS MODEL FOR £90 (20% LESS THAN TRENDING PRICES) BUT THEY'RE USUALLY PRETTY BATTERED WITH CRACKS IN THE PLASIC, MISSING KEYS ETC. THIS ONE IS SO GOOD ITS EASILY WORTH THE £20 EXTRA! THE SAME MODEL IN BROKEN CONDITION RECENTLY SOLD ON ETSY FOR £189 SO GRAB A BARGAIN (FULL DISCLOSURE...ALL TYPEWRITERS SELL FOR A LOT MORE ON ETSY!).

WE SELL A LOT OF VINTAGE TYPEWRITERS AND THIS IS THE BEST ONE WE'VE HAD IN YEARS! THESE ARE OFTEN USED AS DISPLAY PIECES BUT THIS PARTICULAR ONE IS SO GOOD IT'S READY FOR YOU TO WRITE THAT NOVEL YOU'VE BEEN PLANNING TO GET AROUND TO AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!

I REALLY LOVE THIS MODEL - ORIGINALLY IT WAS A FUNCTIONAL, INDUSTRIAL MACHINE BUT IN MODERN TIMES, BECAUSE OF THE STUNNING COLOUR AND DESIGN IT'S A WORK OF ART - A BEAUTIFUL PIECE THAT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP YOURSELF FROM TAPPING AWAY AT - IT'S A SHAME WE NO LONGER PRODUCE SUCH MAGNIFICENT ITEMS THAT MARRY DESIGN, ART AND PRACTICALITY.

WHEN RESEARCHING IT, I FOUND AN EXCELLENT DESCRIPTION OF THE TECH SPECS AND HISTORY OF THIS MODEL ON WIKIPEDIA (IT HAS ITS OWN PAGE) TOO MUCH INFO TO LIST HERE BUT DEFINITELY WORTH A LOOK - A VERY HIGHLY REGARDED MODEL.

THE OLYMPIA DELUXE IS SOMETHING OF A LEGEND IN THE TYPEWRITER WORLD (I PROBABLY SPEND TOO MUCH TIME AROUND TYPEWRITERS SO HAVE BECOME A BIT WEIRD AND OCD ABOUT THEM) - THIS ONE IS SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL. IT WAS MADE IN WEST GERMANY. MOST OF THESE WERE MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA SO IT'S SOMETHING OF A RARITY.

CONDITION

THIS IS THE BEST PART! EVEN THOUGH THIS IS OVER HALF A CENTURY OLD, IT'S IN SUPERB CONDITION. A COUPLE OF VERY MINOR SCRATCHES ON THE CASE BUT NOTHING YOU'LL NOTICE UNLESS LOOKING VERY CLOSELY. NO WEAR WHATSOEVER, THE KEYS AND BUTTONS ALL WORK PERFECTLY. I SUSPECT THE PREVIOUS KEEPER BOUGHT IT, STORED IT IN A DRY PLACE AND HARDLY EVER USED IT. IT HONESTLY LOOKS BRAND NEW!

WE SELL MANY VINTAGE TYPEWRITERS AND CHECK THEM ALL - WE HAVE GIVEN THIS A MINOR SERVICE. IT DIDN'T REALLY NEED ANYTHING DONE BUT I'VE RE-OILED THE MECHANISM AND I'VE INSTALLED BRAND NEW REELS AND RIBBON. NB - FOR FUTURE REFERENCE KEEP THESE REELS AND JUST REPLACE THE RIBBON  (£2 ON EBAY) - I HAD TO BUY THE EXPENSIVE CUSTOM MADE SMALL HEAD ONES BUT NOW YOU HAVE THEM INSTALLED THEY WON'T NEED REPLACING) - IT'S READY TO GO!

SHIPPED WITHIN 24 HOURS TRACKED, INSURED AND SIGNED. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A DELICATE AND HEAVY ITEM SO IT WILL BE SHIPPED VIA PARCELFORCE - MOST OTHER COURIERS WOULD TAKE GREAT DELIGHT IN SMASHING THIS IMMEDIATELY!
