Description:
A Classic Blue wide carriage Selectric II with Correction. I've refurbished it a full solvent bath, synthetic lubrication and new sound-deadening foam. Came with a used but good factory IBM cover.
I added this one to the database since you don't often see this color. It has not been painted and the original finish is nearly scratch-free.
Model - 895
SOLD

I love mechanical things and have tinkered with manual and electric typewriters since my teens. I have always been fascinated by the IBM Selectric, but it was later in life that I finally got my hands on one to explore. I learned to repair/restore them and suddenly I have several of them. I don't really consider myself a collector, but rather a restorer. I enjoy bringing old machines back to usable condition and then pass them on to other people to use and enjoy.
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.
