The IBM Lexmark Selectric series has been a solid powerhouse machine providing the best in features and reliability for decades of service. The Selectric is well known for its interchangible typing elements that allow for easy font change during use. All Selectrics offer a sturdy frame and their comfortable keys make typing a pleasureable experience!
The Selectric II is available with a Dual Pitch option to allow it to be switched (with a lever at the top left of the “carriage”) between 10 and 12 characters per inch. Separate elements are available for each pitch. It has a lever (at the top left of the “carriage”) that allows characters to be shifted up to half a space to the left (for centering text, or for inserting a word one character longer or shorter in place of a deleted mistake)
