Here is the link to my Selectric II documentation:

Some of the files are still syncing, should be done soon. When it's all done
you should have 4 manuals.

Dave,
The best manual I have has 54 pages of visual diagrams for adjusting
the Selectric II, which should be mechanically similar to yours, save
the
added
actuators. With about 7 adjustments depicted per page.
Really. That's
no
trivial
piece of mechanical machinery, it's up there with
some of the most
complex mechanical calculators I have. But they are very well
documented (unlike
said
mechanical calculators). I'm in the process of
uploading a folder with
all
the
Selectric II manuals I have accumulated to my public
Dropbox,
including
that
most useful "visual" guide. Once it's up
through my minuscule upload
bandwidth I'll post a link.
Marc

Thanks Chuck,
I should have got those before as I have been a member on there for
ages,
just
couldn't remember they were there. The stuff in
mine looks very
similar to
the
Louis Sanders article I have, so I am sure its from
the same article.
I now need to read the theory and clean, adjust and lubricate.

I just did a quick check--the Yahoo golfballtypewritershop group
does have
the
Louis Sander 1983 article from Micro magazine
about converting an
I/O selectric for general computer use.
There's also a two parter on the I/O Selectric theory of operation.
You should have enough there to keep you busy.
