Selectric Typewriter Museum

Welcome to the Selectric Typewriter Museum! I am Jim Forbes, curator. The Museum started out as my "new" home page in 1999, just after I bought nine Selectric typewriters from the local school district at auction for $12. The actual typewriter content is now just a small part of the Museum, which covers some of my wildly varied technical interests. The Museum was hosted by my Internet service provider until spring 2004, when I took the plunge and got a domain name and hosting service for it. I was constantly having to delete files with the 10mb limit, and now I have 500mb to play with, so I can leave up some of the larger files such as circuit board and schematic scans. With the added room I should be able to build a "how Selectrics work" page, using information from a 1962 IBM Selectric Terminal manual I have.
