Anderson-Jacobson cranked out a lot of converted selectrics. I have one of them. You might contact their company to see if they are making one for the IBM Correcting unit. Don't have their address at hand, but they have ads in several of the popular computer mags.

If the selectric typewriter you want to convert is an electronic model
65 or 85, IBM themselves have a kit to plug the typewriter into the
printer port of a PC. We have one -- it works fine.
The conversion from ascii to typewriter code is made in software, and IBM
provides a program that lurks in front of the printer port, doing the
translation automatically. I expect you could plug the typewriter into
any other computer's Centronics port, but you'd have to deal with the
translation yourself.
