Hebrew Typewriter 1976 Olympia SM8 in as-new condition

Hebrew Language Olympia Typewriter
Model SM8 from 1976.
 
An extraordinarily fine and rare typewriter. In immaculate condition and working perfectly. Comes with original case in excellent condition. Fully professionally serviced and comes with a new ribbon.
 
The keyboard includes a rare "dot matrix" key which was apparently used for security when writing checks. The keyboard also has the $ and £ keys (which were somehow missed in the typing sample).
 
This is a very speedy and precise typer very suitable to serious writers. The SM8 model-line has the "basket shift" for upper-case letters. 
For many writers (and collectors), the Olympia SM model series is considered to be the "gold standard" for mid-century desktop typewriters. It is one of the most well-engineered, solid, durable and usable typewriter models ever manufactured. This one is one of the best maintained mechanically that we have seen in many years.
 
Each Acme typewriter carries a metal certification seal confirming its restoration by us, two‑year mechanical warranty, and lifetime customer service.
