wheelwriter keyboard (bolt modded?)

Could be a fun project for someone to convert this to USB and make a case for it. Much cheaper than buying an SSK!

surprised that you aren't snagging it for yourself for that "Code" key ....
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

I thought about it (that is, asking the guy if he’d cut the shipping to just a couple dollars to just ship the code key and spacebar), but since this sucker is already bolt modded, I thought someone might want to turn it into a full computer keyboard, optionally changing the layout (e.g. splitting up the big enter key).
