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.

Started collecting in 2022 after watching California Typewriter. I have always been a mechanical tinkerer and find that these machines are most fascinating and can be worked on a bench top. Unlike old trucks, motorcycles, really anything with a gas engine that used to hold my interest.
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.
