I have two Selectrics with two different problems.
The 72 returns in the wrong direction.
The 71 will type a character, then type the number one. It alternates between the keystroke you actually make, with the number one (or exclamation point, depending on if you are holding the shift key or not). But each key alternates independently. So, if you hit the X repeatedly. The machine will type x1x1x1x1x1x1, and so forth. So, if you type a complete sentence, depending on which alternation the keys are on, you may end up with all ones, or all correct letters, or (more likely) a seemingly random conglomeration of ones and letters.
Any thoughts on how I can fix these issues?
