@Cloudscout Beautiful! How did you clean the interior mechanism? I have two Selectrics and the only guy I knew who still serviced them (doing the "hot dip" clean-and-lube process) retired a few years ago. They were supposedly designed to have this service done every few years.

Also, interesting that your model has the numerals 1 and 0 on it. The only OG #Selectric I ever encountered in the wild lacked both, and you had to use a lowercase L and uppercase O as substitutions. (Maybe it was weird?)

@rileycran #IBM #typewriter #designers had #balls!

I spent a lot of my youth in front of a #Selectric, and we still had one until gifting it to a young relative earlier this year so they could have the experience. And that grounding in the keyboard arts may be why I'm tying this on a #ModelM.
