Description:
I picked this white Correcting Selectric II up as part of a lot containing it and another brown Correcting Selectric II, several type elements and a few correction tapes and carbon cartridges. It came from a retired couple, one of whom took these home from work about 25 years ago when their job switched to using computers. It took a little work to get it up and running, but now it types really nicely. It's my first actually-working Selectric too, which is exciting.
