Description:
There is a skip in the serial number range and this falls in between the skip, so I am not sure if it is a 1974.
Very little use. Super clean inside and out. If it was used much, it must have been serviced before being mothballed. Powers on and hums. Off. I need far more Selectric experience before I tackle this one.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the IBM Memory Typewriter on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the IBM Serial Number page and the IBM Memory Typewriter By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
