The fact is... above all else, your videos significantly influenced my decision to purchase a beautiful 1966 Olympia SM-9. After getting it home, I fine-tuned the tolerances of the carriage rail, as the rollers inside were a little loose (allowing for up-and-down play of the carriage), so I readjusted the screws on both ends of the front rail, allowing for it to work perfectly, and no longer skip a space every so often. Thanks for helping me with my decision to buy this typewriter, as it is a truly marvelous machine, and I love every aspect of it! I will continue to watch your videos, as yours is definitely the "go-to" channel on KZfaq! --Paul

Thank you! I just a bought the SM9 Olympia a few weeks ago and I was happy to see all the information you explained in this video. I especially liked you showing the tension lever makes hitting the keys so much easier and making typing much more fun!

I followed this but my lettern are not flying high enough to touch the paper. So I can’t write anything. Is there a way to readjust this so it works again? 🫣
