There's a big difference--the typewriter has none of the electrical components (solenoids, etc.) that the I/O writer uses to activate the mechanism. The golf-ball print mechanism is the same in both. Since Selectrics are still pretty easy to come by as typewriters, I suspect that this may have more interest if it were intended for typewriters (i.e. it included the actuators). On the other hand, the I/O writers, while once more commonplace, are fairly rare today and the unit would have substantially less appeal. Cheers, Chuck

I would like to see a few photos of this, in general because I would like some insight on how to see the selectric mechanism in simple terms. Or you could just send me the thing <g>. John A.
