Sorry if this sounds a little rantive. It was written with a glass of Vodka and lemonade next to me, with a head full of muddled ideas and feelings about the future. ….. Well, that is a little bit of luck to tell my side of the story if it all goes bad.…
My Olympia SM3 is in near perfect condition and it looks as though it has just been pulled off the showroom floor. I acquired this machine roughly a month ago, and the story behind it is interesting – and it may still be told sometime in the future. But right now I’m calling this…
