33 is the basic model without ribbon colour lever. 66 has everything you need. 99 is a 66 with more chrome trim, but not more features.

If one wanted to use one of these machines for practical typing, which model would be recommended?

My Splendid 33 is in ‘as new’ condition. I also own a Traveller de Luxe, good condition, but not ‘as new’. Nevertheless the Traveller is the much better typewriter. Its more precise, less noisy and oh, so fast as an electrical. Unbelieveable how good it is. I prefer it over an Olivetti Studio 44. I like the look and the sound of the Letteras 22 and 32, but when I have to write more than a notice, I choose the Traveller.

Serial number is 95-89558. I’m guessing 1964? Anyway, I love it, types like a dream! More pix and deets at my blog entry (below), if you ever get bored. Thanks for any advice – lovin’ your blog. ~Tom~ https://wrongwaywriteway.com/2016/01/11/1964-olympia-portable/

Carriage shift. But it’s not too heavy.

I’ve had both. They seem the same to me. Just be sure to get a grippy pad. These tend to wander.
