I've considered picking up one of the inexpensive
Selectric
or Selectric-II typewriters (don't need no stupid correction

However, I helped a guy do this conversion once (many odd years
ago) and it wasn't pretty then and doubt it would be pretty now.
And the conversion didn't cover the "input" side of the equation
at all. It was just a printer.
Does anyone know where I can get a unit such as this? If any
of you have such a thing, I would be interested in purchasing
and/or trading.
I have the "Systems Diagrams" manual for an MTST, which comes
with a "typewriter" portion of an MTST, which is full I/O. Do NOT
have the desk pedestal sized power supply, etc. It is currently promised
to Sam, but for appropriate incentive, perhaps he would relinquich his
claim and send it to you?
