IBM Selectric as keybaord for the Wang 1220

Smashing!  Makes my recently-upgraded-to DOS 6.22 machine look like the future.

Which it is.

I bet he just uses it for some primitive form of Minesweeper anyway...

1. I tried cleaning a Selectric III a few weeks ago. The foam is disgusting. It's this sticky goop that gets everywhere. Think of it as super sticky sponge cake.

2. The foam on my Model F 5291-2 (currently in pieces) is just fine.

Also slightly OT, but if I wanted to give my gummed up/sticky Selectric III a solvent bath, which solvent should I use?
