Tech Tangents | Smith Corona Galaxie Deluxe Cleaning and Repair @TechTangents | Uploaded April 2019 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
I really want this pretty SCM Galaxie deluxe in full working order because it's just too cool!
Firstly I'll say here (as well as the pinned comment since reading the description is for squares I it seems), I was able to fix the vertical alignment of the lower case characters. It happened after I got this video fully edited and uploaded and was almost too easy. There are two screws you can adjust on the bottom without even taking the cover off. One for lower and upper case alignment. It takes all of 30s to adjust it. This was supposed to be a quick video to give me time to work on other projects so you'll have to forgive me for not wanting to set back up to shoot that part and then re-edit the end of the video to work that in.
The type is so much clearer now on this thing, it's wonderful. If you are doing this as well, definitely use isopropyl. It breaks down the ink very quickly.
Sometimes it really is the easy solution with something like the power spacer key. I was prepared to fight with it to find the solution, but I'll take the easy way out.
Being the only manual typewriter I have gives this one some advantages over the other typewriters I have. I've already put it into service and have typed out a few things on it. It's a very nice typewriter and I'm glad to have found it!
