So,
the solution would be to scrap a 1620 to get one?
The Model B was one of the most common IBM typewriters prior to the
Selectric line. When the division GM's secretary turned in her
Model B Executive (prop-spacing with the split spacebar) for a
Selectric, I grabbed it and turned out better-looking correspondece
than she did.
There must have been millions of the Model B made (some with 1620s
attached), so it shouldn't be hard to turn up a key in some old
typewriter shop's parts crib.
