I found a Selectric 1 (original) 13" model on eBay. The seller included a photo of the broken rotate metal tape which occurred as he tried to lubricate the machine. In that picture I can see the ends of the paper feed mechanism (barely, with adjustment of exposure and contrast) and these look to be definitive for the tie-rod style paper feed mechanism.
The shipping definitely adds to the cost, almost the same cost as the typewriter itself due to weight and size, but I didn't see any local Selectric 1 13" models that I could drive and pick up in any of the online marketplaces I tried.
