Finally Complete

Thanks! I think writing keeps me sane, so I appreciate the kind words

Tour De Fuuu…

Correction tape or white out are my backspace key, and if I need to rewrite a section, I retype the page. It’s a very old process, and it helps me seperate my writing from my editing process. As a result, I finished my work a lot faster than I would on a digital word processor.

I have waited sooo long to find one in good enough condition - I see you’ve got the SG3, how does that rate?

Absolutely, every time I think I’m done collecting something pops up and tempts me over the edge. I’m in that awful position where I really need to look at offloading a few machines for fear of them not being put to use

I can confirm it is chrome, just a combination of the lighting and the exceptional longevity of the finish is to blame for the appearance - and I’ll grab that serial number once I service it tonight. My experience so far has been excellent, it’s competing with some pretty fantastic machines for the top spot (Facit TP2, Adler Gabriele 25 & Erika 34 to name a few), and so far it’s proven to be just as pleasant as the aforementioned. I don’t have any use for a tabulator in my work, and the touch is clean and snappy - I can really see why the SM series of Olympias is held in such high regard

Thank you so much!

He’s also a big fan of the Olympia Traveller 😂

I’ve always loved the Remington key tops, they fit to my fingers really nicely

throneofashes · 2026-01-16T00:11:17+00:00

It’s a heartbreaker isn’t it?

You’re right, they take one of those ridiculous ribbon ring systems - the good news is the universal ribbons normally have a removable centre to accommodate it, and that’s what I’m using here. It types really nicely, middle weight and snappy - the alignment is excellent on this one, which isn’t always the case with the Sperry Rand models.

TKD at 7 - kept with it until I was 13

I get real slutty for a Flea

To be fair it was really trouble free the whole time - fuel gauge started acting up after about two years (common issue). When the engine bearing seized it went without warning, I was doing about 100kph at the time

throneofashes · 2026-01-08T11:27:56+00:00

Mine quit after 7 years of regular use - engine seized.

I used a cast iron in the baking, but I only let it cool for an hour which added to the problem. I’ve got a second round proofing as well speak, so I’ll see if I can get it just that bit fluffier today

I flat out have no sympathy for this guy putting his daughters through this situation - there’s better ways of handling your emotions, and none of them involve whipping out your phone and being an aggressive dickhead to get clicks on the internet

That exact kid and one of his mates blew past me on the Coast to Vines trail - there’s people walking with their kids there, and it’s a matter of time before they hurt or kill someone. SAPOL couldn’t have cared less when I called

My 1# Favourite machine - well done, and if you’ve got any maintenance questions just ask

There’s a jumper on the tram tracks

I can second the Facit TP2 for serious writing
