Irked by the overinflated prices on Ebay for typewriters, I’ve been casting about for other sources of reasonably priced machines to purchase. Today I purchased two I saw at auction: 

• Smith-Corona Classic 12 in metallic green for $18.00
• 1969 Smith-Corona Galaxie Deluxe in steel blue for $23.00

Both appear to be in good shape and functional though one is going to need some reasonable cleaning and repair of a few linkages. I can’t wait for them to ship to see what I’ve got. They both look like a lot of fun…
