Description
The IBM Selectric was a highly successful line of electric typewriters introduced by IBM on 31 July 1961. The Selectric had an "element" that rotated and pivoted to the correct position before striking the paper. The element could be easily interchanged to use different fonts within the same document typed on the same typewriter. This typewriter comes with a protective plastic cover, and a working typeface element and ink ribbon. This typewriter is in good condition, powers on, and types with no issues. Measures approximately 21” x 7” x 15”
