Olympia Mystery Electric...???
Could someone confirm this "mystery" (to me..) electric typewriter might be an Olympia SGE 30 ?
I ran across this image on the Web but no info/caption with it.
It seems very similar to my SGE 35 but with a Tab-bar above the top row of keys and not the Tab key as on my machine.

Actually wanted of these a while ago. Ive heard that they are very fine machines. They seem to be more common then the SGE 40 & I love the styling. But Ill just wait for that elusive mint SGE 40 to pop up...
There were in fact a few of them listed recently in good condition, but none of them with the paper injector. The wait continues.

There is a very decent looking SGE-30 running on eBay.
It was priced at $ 150 and is now discounted to $ 99 and then add S&H. Sold out of Michigan USA. 115 volt AC machine. 14-day return allowed.
Seller says it all works but the "+/=" key sometimes sticks in rapid-fire mode. Probably needs a bit of cleaning.
