It almost seems unfair to compare the Olympia SM-9 to other makes of the same period. The solid workmanship, the buttery-smooth feel... this was the Mercedes-Benz of typewriters, true German engineering. Thanks for posting.
In this era of typewriter-manufacturing, one really couldn't compare brands at all because they were all so distinguishably different. A Smith-Corona from the 1960's has a reputation of it's own.
It was an Olympia SM9 that initially lured me into the world of typewriters. I've since come to own and appreciate many different brands and models from the mid-century era, but the SM9 will always remain a sentimental favorite. Wonderful machines.
Mine was a Smith-Coroma Galaxie II. Looking back it’s a pretty crappy machine, but still holds a special place in my heart. Now I mostly collect Olivettis and Olympias.
Platen sounds pretty fresh. I have that exact same machine and typeface. I actually collect Olympias and have several SM-9s as well as SFs. Brilliant machines.
Kinda silly but good to see a typewriter RUclipsr that actually knows how to type. I see everyone two finger hunt and peck and it annoys the crap outta me for no reason.
But this guy doesn't know how to type. He's usually using just three fingers on either hand. I learned how to type in the 1960s in high school on large Royal office typewriters and early IBM selectrics. We would have been sent home if we typed like he does. BTW, the very machine he's typing on was my first and only personal typewriter, and I still use it today.

Beautiful machine. I look up to owning an SM9 in the near future so that it can go accompanied with my SG3.

It's not bad. Definitely a low-mileage machine.

What is your preferred touch setting? I find Olympia typewriters to abide by their own separate rules when it comes to touch select.
What is your opinion about SM9 platen? As compared with SM3 & 4 platens. Same material?
Hi, I love the flip clock: what make is it?
What do you use for a backing sheet? Looks like it’s a dedicated thing you’ve labeled
Nothing special. Just Eaton's craft paper.
You are amazing 👏❤💖💕💗♥👏
It's better than asmr...😴
Awesome
Hello, love you channel. I have question, can you say me? What fields did you use?
Thank you. I'm not sure what you mean with "fields."
