I bit the bullet and bought a very junky selectric ii with beautiful black caps. I took the number row and WASD to put on my 5251. Thought? I think it looks pretty darn nice.

Is S turned the wrong way? Doesn’t appear to match profile.

It might just be the picture. It looks right in person. When flipped you can tel it's wrong. One of the fun things about putting the S,O,I, x, z etc on...

Looks great! I want to find a junked Selectric with blue keys one of these days.
