Olympia Splendid 66 typewriter (1967) compact portable typewriter in original tan leather case with instruction leaflet

A cream Olympia splendid 66 made in 1967, fully functioning, with original instructions leaflet, case and with a brand new black and red ribbon fitted.

These Olympia machines with their German engineering are some of the smoothest writing tools out there.

One of the most compact high quality typewriters, this typewriter still prints in a completely straight line, with clear and even text. All functions from margin release to caps lock work well. Please zoom in on first photo for type sample.

Unusually, under the hood this typewriter has an adjustment lever for the weight of typing action.

The original manual describing each part is unusually still present and included.

Olympia are one of the highest quality typewriter manufacturers and the satisfying non-irritating clunk of the easy to press keys on this machine are a joy to hear as you type away!

I have written a how to guide for using typewriters (I use them and fix them myself and have sold 50+). It can be read on my website, where this machine is also available at a lower price:

How-to Guides

This machine is in great condition, though there are a couple of scratches to the front corners of the chassis, please zoom in on photos. The case also has marks, though the zip works well.

This Olympia Splendid 66 has been cleaned (every type bar and slug, every key and the chassis), and had a brand new ribbon fitted and will arrive ready to write your next novel without apps or games to distract you!

Measures 30cm wide X 28cm deep X 8cm tall.
