I couldn’t find one in the style/price range I was looking for around town, so I went to craigslist naturally. There was nothing for sale, but I posted a “wanted add”. The next day someone responded and I got just what I was looking for for only $50! yay! I got a smith corona galaxie twelve- two tone blue from the seventies.
Ideally, I would have like a red royal, but those run for like $300, or less if they aren’t in working order or if by some stroke of luck you find one at a garage sale. I really really like my new smith corona, and encourage you to look outside your ideal.
