What I'd enjoy seeing is one of those solenoid

in Kilobaud, but I've never seen one in the wild...
I had one of these, but sadly didn't get a suitable typewriter to try it out before I
passed it on to another collector. IIRC the PSU and interface/drivers were in one box and
the solenoid unit that sat on top of the keyboard was connected via a large cable. I
can't remember what sort of interface it was.
Not long after getting rid of it I started seeing cheap Selectrics all over the place..
