Description:
"The World's Finest Non-Electric Portable" right there on the manual.
Another survivor straight off the thrift store conveyor belt, to the work bench, to TWDB. Not a bit of whiteout, a couple of eraser bits and no sign a screwdriver ever touched her. No UV damage and even the card guide is like new. A fine 9/10 example of an early Galaxie II.
It was probably parked because the LS platen knob didn't rotate the platen. The variable set screw came loose and the lock collar was hung up inside the platen.
Chet's Business Machines closed the doors in Nov 1982. Chet knew where to place that decal.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Galaxie II 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 II By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
