NICE GREEN OLYMPIA SM-3 VINTAGE TYPEWRITER For Sale - New and Used

From my collection, I am offering this 1957 Olympia SM-3 portable in excellent condition. It is a great typer, laying down a very clean lineofelite type. German engineering is very much in evidence on this smooth functioning machine. Typical of Olympias, this SM-3 is heavy and solid, made for daily typing, yet with a nice easy touch.
Everything works on this green machine except the left-hand carriage knob. For some reason it does not turn the platen and scroll paper when turned. The screw is present, and seemingly in tight, but the "grip" is just not there.

Case for the Oly is in overall excellent condition, and very solid and protective.

This is a really clean Olympia and needs only the carriage-knob fix to be in perfect condition.
