Dave, The best manual I have has 54 pages of visual diagrams for adjusting the Selectric II, which should be mechanically similar to yours, save the added actuators. With about 7 adjustments depicted per page. Really. That's no trivial piece of mechanical machinery, it's up there with some of the most complex mechanical calculators I have. But they are very well documented (unlike said mechanical calculators). I'm in the process of uploading a folder with all the Selectric II manuals I have accumulated to my public Dropbox, including that most useful "visual" guide. Once it's up through my minuscule upload bandwidth I'll post a link. Marc

The stuff in mine looks very similar to the Louis Sanders article I have, so I am sure its from the same article. I now need to read the theory and clean, adjust and lubricate.
