I used to repair IBM Selectric typewriters. I loved them, especially when you tear them apart and see exactly how they work to translate the key press into an exact 4 dimensional position for the type ball. Getting them adjusted after replacing a broken rotate or tilt tape, or other repairs, was always lots of fun lol

@anvilsvs you were very smart! Lol If you had to replace some internal component where all the tapes and such had to come off, you had to start at the beginning and adjust everything one step at a time. Good thing IBM had amazing service manuals walking you through each step. And if you got stuck, you could call their tech support and they would help you solve the issue. And they sold every single part on the machine! Unlike anything they make today... lol
