IBM Selectric I Restoration - Issue Assessment
Channel: Jordan
Date: 2011-08-04

Picked up an IBM Selectric I free from an estate sale. With the intention of turning this into a restoration series I go through some of the issues I've discovered so far.

My apologies to any legitimate typewriter repairmen if I butchered any terms.

As I say in the video I don't think the bushing is the issue for my typewriter as the sound seems to come from the operational shaft and upon reading material I found there is no bushing in the cycle clutch.

Recorded on a Sony Cybershot, I have no other option at the moment, perhaps old video capture technology is fitting for a video about a 1970's piece of equipment?
