Description:
I cleaned up this Galaxie for a neighborhood shop. The typebars were frozen in the segment as if set in concrete. Scrubbed the segment with denatured alcohol and now the typewriter is happily typing. A very solid, pleasant typewriter.
Beautiful robin's egg blue color.
Serial number located by right ribbon spool.
Unable to find SCM datecode.

I'm a novice collector with a very small collection of mostly nonfunctional typewriters. I enjoy tinkering and repairs, so I am slowly but surely putting these typewriters back into service.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Galaxie on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Galaxie By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
