IBM Selectric I (Reconditioned)

Your Price: $895.00

Item Number: IBM-001
In 1961 IBM introduced a revolutionary electric typewriter, the Selectric I, which replaced the standard typebars with a moving interchangeable spherical single printing element, while the carriage remained fixed. The single element, best known as the "golf ball" which holds the embossed characters for printing, is about the size and the embossing reminiscent of the dimples of a golf ball.

The Selectric I was available in standard and wide-carriage sizes and in various colors, including red and blue as well as traditional neutral colors. The single elements were available in many fonts, including symbols for science and mathematics, script, Old English, and more than a dozen ordinary alphabets. Over the years, there were several different cartridge styles for the ribbons, even in the same model Selectric, and they were not interchangeable.

Warranty: 60 days labor and parts.
