This is a vintage 1969, twelve-inch carriage, American-made, Smith-Corona Galaxie Deluxe portable typewriter with an original carrying case (serial number 6MLB-134493). This machine features high-speed Power-Space key, originally marketed for students and general home use, and billed as "The World’s Most Advanced Standard Portable Typewriters."

The case measures approximately 17-3/8 inches wide by 14-1/2 inches deep by 5-3/4 inches tall. Typewriter and storage case together weigh approximately 21 pounds and 5 ounces.

With a host of excellent features, it has effortless control, full 88-character English keyboard, jeweled escapement, cushioned return lever, line indicator, Page Gage, Quick-Set margins, and personal touch selector (toggles between light, medium, and heavy key strikers.).

This is a robust full manual typewriter with easily accessible and easy-to-use functionalities: tabs setting, power-space, and ribbon color switching. It is also an aesthetically beautiful machine -- particularly the vibrancy of the two-tone blue enamel paint finish and the aluminum carriage knobs. This machine has all the bells and whistles and would be a great typewriter for the person who wants to type on a regular basis. It comes with crisply uniform letters and super-modern Elite typeface.

There's nothing rarer than a typewriter that comes with the "Owner's Guarantee Card" and the original receipt ($104.85) and proof of the date of purchase (March 6, 1970), at Gemco department store (which closed in 1986). How cool is that?

The Galaxie Deluxe is fully functional down to the bell. Cosmetically, it's also in fine shape and in great working condition. For your convenience, a fresh new black/red ribbon has been installed for immediate use.

Did William Miller, in Almost Famous, just say "Galaxis"? ;)
