IBM OPD Selectric TW "OPCEKit" PARTS LISTING

The listing below is referenced to the IBM Selectric Adjustment/Parts Manual.  The left column is the "Figure & Reference" from the parts section; ie "02" relates to the Carrier Mechanism, the next three digits are the actual item in the diagram.  The single letter indicates the location within the kit, along with a brief description.  Following that is the part number, which in some cases may be the IBM W.T (World Trade) number which may be different from the original US part number, but is still the same actual part.  The next number shows how many of that part are in the kit, with some having a secondary location where there are multiples.  Finally there is a brief comment or note regarding the usage or mortality of the item.

Below are detail images of the above parts, mostly arranged by their location within the kit.  Because of the difference between US & WT (World-Trade) part numbers, and different level parts I have included only the A/PM Figure and Reference and brief description but not the actual part number - refer to the listing if that is needed.

This link will bring up the original contents listing which includes some Typebar and Electronic Typewriter (50,60,75) parts - those have been removed entirely to allow more space for Selectric parts.

Note also that many of the items have multiple quantities in the actual kit, only one example of each included part is shown here below.
