Nice Spring day to work in the garage/driveway.

This Japan-made Olympia 3 ultra-portable cleaned up nicely and got a lubrication and spring adjust to make the carriage-shift a little bit lighter.

Without its case, it weighs in at 9.4 lbs (compared to my 1965 Olympia SF at 9.8 lbs. and my 1971 Olympia Traveller at 10.4 lbs.).

This Olympia 3 types well and fast...but I think both of my other German-made machines feel more robust, sturdy, and precise.  But this Olmpia 3 is a "keeper" nevertheless.

The Japanese added a touch-control on the left side of the key-tops but decided a carriage-lock lever/feature was not required. 

It does have a single segment metal paper support  between the margin stops, but one could easily slice cheese with that metal blade.  Will plan to hone-down the metal edges to take their edge off.

And it does have a Tabulator with fixed stops every 10 spaces across the platen and you can set the 1ist Tab at 5-6 spaces if you play around with the placement of the left margin stop.

Font is a nice, easy-to-read Pica 10 cpi.

Funny...this is my 3rd. mostly orange coloured typewriter in my collection.  Will have to do a photo of the trio...

Looks like the more traditional colour of a Traveller on this "Olympiette 2" now running on eBay.

It has touch-control on the left side and has 2-ribbon colour.  But no Tab function.

No photo of the back, but I assume it is a Made-In-Japan machine...like my "Olympia 3", above.  It also has the Olivetti-like back panel.
