Description:
This is my only Selectric (and only electric). This may be my all-around favorite to use, just for the symphony of electromechanical noise it generates. Found in an antique store in Oregon - it was working reasonably well but suffering from deferred maintenance, so I sent it off to Chuck Furrer in Chicago for a rebuild and the bright-yellow paint job (Selectric rebuilds are beyond my skill level). Works beautifully now.

Just keeping the supply of shelf space ahead of the accumulation of typewriters (ten so far). Still seeking the elusive Olivetti Studio 42.
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.
