Description:
As plastic housed machines go, this is a solid build. It is clearly still a Wilhelmshaven machine.
It has an interesting feature to get the mech out of the body. Two latches release it by using a screwdriver in the slots (see images). Then lift it up and pull back to clear the spacebar stops.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to any one area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia Monica S on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia Monica S By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
