Friden Flexowriter

Even if your unit is working, I suspect it might not take much demoing, since that is what you want to put it to. I'd certainly display the unit, but if you want to hook something working up, I'd suggest an ASR33. The spares are more plentiful, and there is less to wear out on one that is in good condition. Also the I/O aspect of your Flexowriter makes it more useful to people who need them for original equipment as well. I don't know if the I/O interface is documented, or if you propose to just automate one which is not already automated, but if you do have one with an interface, the heritage and particulars, and if you would be so kind, documentation on the interfaces would be good to have in circulation.
