196X Smith Corona Galaxie Deluxe Serial # 6T2V-146176 196X Smith Corona Galaxie Deluxe typewriter, Serial # 6T2V-146176 Chris Aldrich's 196X Smith Corona Galaxie Deluxe typewriter. 2024-03-07 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Chris Aldrich: 196X Smith Corona Galaxie Deluxe Serial # 6T2V-146176 Purchased at auction on 2024-03-02 and received on 2024-03-07 at 10:00 AM. The seller stated this was a 1969, but the Typewriter database doesn't seem to have serial number dating for this range of typewriters which were manufactured between 1966 and 1972.

It's in fairly reasonable shape with some scratches and imperfections. I'll clean it up and post some photos shortly.

Hello! I’m a Johns Hopkins trained biomedical and electrical engineer with a variety of interests in the entertainment industry, information theory, evolution, big history, genetics, signal processing, transgenetics, translational medicine, and theoretical mathematics. I’m a strong advocate of the IndieWeb movement.

I have a love for analog office equipment including library card catalogs and typewriters. As of Fall 2024, I've got a segment of 27 typewriters, mostly portable and manual models along with two Royal standards and one SMC typebar electric. I have been learning how to completely overhaul all of the machines in my collection, all of which work well aside from one or two machines which need some parts. I have a burgeoning collection of typewriter tools for continually repairing, maintaining, and upgrading my machines.

I've got more than half a dozen card catalogs including a Gaylord Bros. and a Steelcase along with several Remington Rand and some Shaw-Walkers. I've lost count of my index card collection once I passed 10,000.
