Description:
Found in Bothell Washington. Belonged to a woman who used it in her home office. My second Selectric 2. The first one was a dumpster save that I use to experiment on.
Learning that these require mechanical skills and a bit of wizardry to repair.

Can't figure out humans but I can tinker with mechanical things. Typewriter passion has become nearly an obsession. Keep a spreadsheet of my collection and rotate daily typer occasionally to exercise the herd. All my machines are cleaned, lubed, adjusted and in working order. My mentors are local shop owners in PDX.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the IBM Selectric II on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the IBM Serial Number page and the IBM Selectric II By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
