You can hook up a standard computer monitor to the typewriter, but it won't recognize color, and sometimes on eBay you can find IBM POS (point of sale) monitors that will work on the typewriter. Do you still have the typewriter?

Be sure the printwheel is proprly installed, Check the keyboard connectors and look for debris in the P/W area.

Why does my wheelwriter 1000 lexmark typewriter makes this hummin sound as though its stuke.

Lube the round chrome rod that goes throught the carrier, Carier is what hold the ribbons and daisy wheel.
Lube pulleys on the belt. You may need to lube the carriage return motor too.

Ibm selectric II typewriter does not come on

Generally the motor bearings get gummed up. There is a hole on each side of the motor. Suggest WD40 to free up the motor shaft. If you are real handy the motor can be disassembled the the bearings cleaned of the gunk and then oiled and reassembled. Not a job for all.

Lexmark/IBM Wheelwriter 1000 Typewriter has been in storage for 3 years. Dusted off/cleaned out today. Types fantastically, all functions work, except it keeps automatically resetting the margins. Tried...

First try a little shot of WD40 on both sides of the silver shaft that the carrier slides on. If that doesn't do it you will have to get some on the carrier motor bearings located in the R. rear corner under the case.

IBM Wheelwriter #5 - The line space keys are flashing and the typewriter will not work. I unplugged it and replaced the batteries.

There are a lot of possibilities. Which lights are flashing? In sequence? Beeps? How many?

These all are codes to the problem.

IBM Wheelwriter 5 nonresponsive, line spacing lights flashing

A lot of possibilities Which lights, beeps, how many? Check for debris in and around the printwheel, look for any obstructions under the carrier, put a few drops of oil on the silver shaft the carrier ride on.

Good Luck
