Occasional typewriter user and 'variety accumulator' but not a serious collector.

My first typewriter was a SCM Galaxie/Classic that I bought at a thrift store in Middle School. Taught myself how to use it without the manual. Used it for school work that needed to be entered into print-outs. I liked the machine, although it is heavy, but I always hated the case.

Recently, something awakened in me and I have been finding a few modest projects and interesting machines to try manual typing again.
