Typewriter Talk / WTB: Olympia SGE-40 (Electric Standard)

WTB - A nice condition and operating Olympia SGE-40.

It came with and without a paper injector feature. Either one is fine with me.

It can also be missing its plastic paper support. And having the original Olympia dust-cover is not a requirement, either.

Here is a photo off of the Internet showing the SGE-40 sans the paper injector feature.

Let me know if you have one collecting dust and if you are willing to ship to Idaho State in the USA.

I have a Olympia SGE 40- 1968 that needs a home. I might be able to ship it from Maine but it's going to cost a lot right now. It's in very good working shape. In storage since my grandmother used it in the 70's. Are you interested?

T. Allen,

I would be. I have sent you a Message.

Would like to see photos from all sides...including back, under-side, and one from above with the top cowling removed. It should lift right off when you move the two metal levers along both side down by the bottom panel.

Thanks...

Update :

T. Allen was delayed and got back to me. His machine seems to be a SGE-50 and not the SGE-40 I seek...so still looking to score one.
