Description:
This is the IBM Personal Wheelwriter 2 that is at my work, residing in the basement. It has been sitting for months now, doing nothing, since the previous owners (Laureate Group) sold the company to Sinceri Senior Living. It rests on an old typing table, made of metal with a "like" wood appearance.

After finding a Smith-Corona Coronet 12 at a curb-side (in Winter while walking the dog) I carried it home; after it thawed out and started coming back to life I was hooked. My interest in this hobby lead to taking two parts typewriters to create one good unit. This typewriter aliment is (pretty much) in-curable!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the IBM Personal Wheelwriter 2 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the IBM Serial Number page and the IBM Personal Wheelwriter 2 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
