Daisywhell typewriter emulating a TTY

Chuck, True, the 1620 Model 1 Model B typewriter (1st gen).? The 1620 Model 2 used a Selectric (2nd gen).? We're using the 3rd generation IBM electric typewriter (Wheelwriter) with the 1620 Jr. (3rd gen 1620?).? [I know it's a stretch.] The issue is that for Jr. we needed a reliable, robust, very low maintenance device.? The IBM 1620 Jr. will be used by the CHM Education Department and needs to stand up to hands-on use without needed difficult & expensive maintenance. Here's the keyboard of our Wheelwriter-based IBM 1620 Jr. Console Typewriter: And here is the printed output: Note the slashed zero, flagged digits, and all of the 1620 special characters.?? :-) Thanks, Dave On 4/10/2019 10:56 AM, Chuck Guzis via cctech wrote: > On 4/10/19 10:35 AM, Dave Babcock via cctech wrote: >> To all, >> >> The Computer History Museum's IBM 1620 Jr. project has already done >> this.?
