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 Correcting Selectric III on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the IBM Serial Number page and the IBM Correcting Selectric III By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
