Protype Display Typewriter
I think I posted this in the forums somewhere before. I still need to clean it up and maybe make a video of it in action. It prints with a wheel and has two typing functions. First is direct input like a real typewriter. The second is type display. Here you type up and edit your document on screen and when you're satisfied with it you hit Print and off it goes. First line printed L to R then drops straight down to the second line, R to L and repeats back and forth until complete.
WoB display. The keyboard is removable and has a coiled cord much like a Model M. This thing is pretty heavy, weighing about as much as a large bag of cement mix.
Close up of the keys and yellowed keyboard. I'm pretty positive they're dye-sub. Under the spacebar is a linear grey.
Yikes! Does it need a scrubbing. MX Blacks from 1987. Does that fall into vintage? These things feel incredible to type on.
I also got the original documentation as well as other peoples typed and hand written notes with tips, tricks, and general help info.
Now I need to source some 5.25" floppy discs so I can save my documents.
