Typewriter Talk / WTB: Olympia SG-1

**Posted by dickdunbar** 14-12-2024 01:03:11

Looking to join the SG owners' club. 10 or 11 CPI normal courier-ish, which I guess equates to 2.6 or 2.3 in those mad euro units.

It should notify (email?) me if you reply, though I'll check back every week just in case.

Cheers!

Hi Dick,

It might help if you let members know your country/region...folks seem to like to hand off these big machines person-to-person in many cases.

Oh - thank you. I'm in Los Angeles, California, though I'm willing to pay for someone to pack nicely and ship if so inclined.

Camarillo, CA...even comes with a desk...

Hey that's a pretty good deal - like the desk too. Looks to be 11 CPI judging by the scale to card guide proportion (I think ~42 characters per one side of the guide = 11 CPI?). Though it's out of my range. I'm stuck in a wheelchair for the time being and can't drive. I was thinking if it's local enough I could use a service like taskrabbit to hire someone to pick it up for me - $50/hour probably so likely cheaper than shipping and I'd guess safer.

Well I've joined the club - bought one on ebay. Great machine!

Dick,

Congratulations. Post up a photo or two in the "Standard Typewriter" section when you can. We would live to see your SG1.
