The model I have is a correcting version. I also have perhaps a dozen type balls of various fonts, a training manual, various literature, and repair parts. At one time I worked for a competing computer
company that used Selectric's as the operator interface. I am talking BIG computers here.
If Karl will pass on what has broken on his Selectric I may have the part but certainly the knowledge to fix it.

One can buy computer type faces too..obviously…
Is there a particular font or typeset - as i recall the selectrics and later correcting seletrics used an interchangeable ball to allow selection of specific type face.

spring is almost here, which means flea markets, tag sales, garage sales, etc.
I bet someone could stumble upon an old IBM Selectric for super cheap money at one of these sales. I'll keep an eye out. Any particular model?

Re the NAPA parts lists in our Club site, a word of caution in that these aren't very current, and NAPA no longer carries some of the parts listed. Our 300C and D lists were most recently updated in 2005; 300F, G, H, J and L lists were most recently updated
in 2010. A big thanks to Bob Merritt for his recent 1/29/2016 update of our Parts Vendor and Source list, also included in the Tech Department.
One item in Bob's list caught my eye - "Window Sticker" for 300F, G, H, available from Karl Pippart III. When I had occasion to speak with Karl a few months ago, he commented that his old IBM Selectric typewriter died, and he can no longer reproduce these window
stickers. So, does anyone have an IBM Selectric hidden away in some closet or attic, that could be put to good use for our Club?

OK. I see it now. Has anyone assembled a list for C300/300B parts available through NAPA ?

Somewhere on the club's website, there is a list of NAPA part numbers for things that fit our letter cars. Can someone post a link to that list, since I haven't been able to find it ?
