You can still get them. I just found a “professionally reconditioned” Selectric 111 on Ebay.

Found it with mah trusty macbook.

I typed my master’s thesis on one in 1984.

It’s gone, but I salvaged three `daisy wheel’ models in our office. Got two to work, have cartridges with both text and correct-tape in reserve.

Still easier to type an envelope address on a typewriter, JMHO.

I pounded out newscast copy 1976-80 on a Selectric. All caps. Never used the correcting feature.
