Description:
This is the first Galaxie Deluxe with a 12" carriage I think I've run into, usually encounter these just in 10". Yet another perfectly common SCM Galaxie in pretty much perfect shape. Found at a Goodwill for $11 after the discount I got from the apologetic clerk when the customer in front of me spent half an hour paying for her haul. Not that a $16 price tag would have deterred me.. :D
I never seem to keep these machines in the corral for long. They make popular gifts for friends.
SOLD!

I am a scoundrel without a cause, and my swank outshines the sun.
I am a casual Typewriter Hunter residing in the sweltering deserts of Arizona with a wife, three cats and about 50 typewriters. My main hunting ground is thrift stores, and I rarely pay more than $10 for a machine. My collection consists mainly of portables with cases, and they stay in the cases unless I am actively using it (usually more than one at a time). I do, however keep a handful of interesting Selectrics, including a Composer and a couple of large Nakajima Electronics to use as daisywheel printers for my vintage laptop collection.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Galaxie Deluxe 12 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 Deluxe 12 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
