They're great machines. Seconded. The Selectric (Correcting Selectric II) is my favorite typewriter. A bit too heavy to be considered portable, but solid and great feel. You'd need to recreate all of the drive and decode mechanism - it wouldn't be worth it unless you were very interested in recreating a Selectric Terminal Typewriter rather than just having a printing terminal.
