In the local Goodwill this morning, there was a large
General Electric
printer/terminal(?) stand out front in the weekend dropoff area. It stood
about three feet high, had a keyboard, with a printer behind it and a data
cassette holder in the upper right console area which also had rocker
switches on it. Sorry for the bad description but I was in a rush.
The thing looked in perfect condition, similar to a teletype machine I had
seen once, although the keys didn't look like teletype keys. The cassette
part intrigued me but I didn't have time to examine it and I completely
forget what the name of the unit was. It was GE for sure.
Basically if anyone has interest in rescuing it, I will head back tomorrow
to fetch it. Otherwise does anyone know what it was, from my terrible
description?
It definitely sounds like something worth rescuing. Someone somewhere
should want it. I'd want it if it were closer.
