You can convert a terminal for use as a printer without too much in the

along with a TRS-80 model 1 from the original owner. I've never had the
Selectric itself up and running though because it is a mess and needs to
be fully cleaned and serviced.
Hi. One friend told me yesterday that he has one
Selectric in working
state available for me. Can this machine be converted in one Terminal
Typewriter ? Thanks.
An "I/O" Selectric is reasonable, but a bit of work.
An office Selectric or a home selectric can be done, but is not worth the
effort. You can do it with a box of solenoids sitting under the keyboard
(vintage Escon), or a box of solenoids sitting 0on top of the keyboard
(Dynatyper or kgs-80)
