THIS IS WHAT CAN HAPPEN AFTER BUYING A NON-WORKING OLYMPIA SG3 FOR $20 TO SALVAGE THE PAPER SUPPORT

[@jaredmontgomery1920]

Looking forward to an update. I just got a very similar SG3 in very similar condition. Mine has a '1' key but color scheme is the same, and also included paper support. Was bundled with a somewhat broken down 60s Hermes Ambassador for CAD $50

Thank you. I plan on documenting the entire clean-up once the weather permits. Even though I've had both SG1s and other SG3s, I'm impressed how well this one types in its current condition. So far I've only cleaned up the exterior, taking particular care to depopulate the panda population first.

It is an excellent typewriter. I have one and it works perfectly, once you put the typewriter into operation it has no problems. The more you use it, the better it works.

[@jimgermaine]

Yes, but now I have 3 of them.

If I had more space in my house I would buy another one. Mine doesn't have the paper injector. Do you upload your typewriters to typewriterdatabase? I uploaded my two sg3, you can see them there. My username is Herik Beheran.
