I managed to snag an SPD a few years ago - a little dirty, but
everything functions. Also have a full schematic for the beast if
anyone is interested...
(http://mycroftxxx.com/~go/Flexowriter_Schematic.ps.bz2) Uncompressed,
it's about 680mbytes. (Al Kossow: copy if you want to archive on
bitsavers) It was originally scanned as a color .tif, which explains
it's size.
But what I want to know: what are modern equivalents to the two Cannon
(I think) plugs that serve as external interface. Mine has the two
requisite dummies (well, one has a bunch of wires that I believes enable
the tape reader/punch) but I don't really want to use those for
connection. I've scoured the Cannon web pages (and our old catalogs at
my company) and can't find a specific cross. Lots look close...
Anyone have specific information on what secret codes are needed to
order exact replacements?

I picked up two recently, haven't had a chance to investigate them in

The TTY rescue story was certainly interesting,
but that got me to
wondering--does anyone have a collection of Friden Flexowriters?
Not really a collection, but four or five units (two are LGP-30 models).
