IBM Selectric. Greatest typewriter EVER. Still wish I had one.Agreed!
In fact, I recently picked up a Selectric III for $20. Publicly, my reason was to have something to handle quick envelopes and the like, but actually I just liked typing on it.
Unfortunately, it turned out to need a tuneup to work properly, and I decided it wasn't worth it, so I got rid of it.
I found it interesting that I was unable to find carbon paper (to complete my "non-computer" writer's setup) anywhere! Apparently, carbon paper is now a specialty item.
Sorry, your Selectric didn’t work out. Perfect for envelopes.
