Description:
I cleaned up this typewriter for a local community arts space.
The machine has a large dent in back and both carriage release levers were broken off suggesting damage in a fall. I used duct tape to secure the one remaining lever to the machine.
The vertical alignment was off and required adjustment. I got it "close enough".
Segment shift.
The serial number is located next to the right ribbon spool.

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.
