Description:
Selectric 72 Composer Made in Netherlands. Got this from a friend who found it at a shop that used to service IBM Selectrics here in Finland. The machine turns on and spins the platen when pressing return but not much else. I suspect it's in dire need of cleaning and regreasing.
If anyone has a service and instruction manual for this model that would be greatly appreciated!
