Description:
I got this machine last January, it even came with its original dust cover although it dose have some holes in it. This machine almost completely works except for the fact that it completely doesn't work at all, all the original grease has coagulated and stuck up the mechanisms so its probably fixable I just fear if I take it apart to do maintenance I won't know how to put it back together again.

I have been collecting and restoring typewriter's for about 4 years now, I collect and restore other antiques aswell but I mainly focus on typewriters.
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.
