Last weekend I got an IBM Mag Card II / 82 from an old lady who used it at the office where she used to work.
I looks complete and came with 3 unused, shrink wrapped IBM magnetic cards, as well as a few holders with used cards.
Also a set of correcting tapes, as well as a spare golfball were part of it.
The motor was not running, but after applying a bit of light machine oil on various places, the motor eventually started to run.
The pivot points of the keyboard fingers also got some oil, and besides 2, they move freely.
The unit it selves takes a card, but spits it out after a second or 2, so that part looks faulty.
I disconnected the power supply board from the typewriter, so the motor can run for a few hours to lubricate the gears and so on.
One major part that hels me a lot, it came with the wiring diagrams of the typewriter, the reader unit and power, nrside the original service log.
