Smith Corona Galaxie II 1966

The futuristic Galaxie II is a science-fiction dream. Featuring a pearl blue exterior and a unique blue platen, it gave the 60's writer a cosmic aesthetic perfect for far out inspiration. Many Smith Corona's (including this one) also feature a jeweled escapement, offering extra protection from normal wear and tear. Professionally serviced and with reconditioned rubber, this machine is ready for the next 60 years of service.

*Typewriter Muse Grading System

To ensure transparency and confidence in every purchase, Typewriter Muse evaluates each machine using our four-category grading system, rated on a 1–10 scale:

• Mechanical Systems – internal function, alignment, and reliability

• Rubber Components – platen, feed rollers, and other rubber elements essential to print quality

• Performance / Ease of Use – typing action, smoothness, and overall user experience

• Aesthetics – cosmetic condition, paint, body integrity, and visual appeal

A machine graded by Typewriter Muse has been fully inspected, serviced, and tested by professionals who specialize exclusively in vintage manual typewriters.

If you are considering a typewriter that does not include a documented grading or quality assessment, we strongly advise against purchasing it. Ungraded machines often hide mechanical issues or deteriorated rubber that can be costly to repair. Always buy from a reputable typewriter reseller who evaluates and discloses the true condition of the machine.

Typewriter Muse is committed to preserving these historic machines—and to helping buyers make informed, confident decisions.
