SWTPC TV Typewriter II restoration

A year ago I acquired a Southwest Technical Products Corp. CT-1024 TV Typewriter II. It was a basket case. The main board was purchased as just a bare board and the original owner had used what ever parts he had. (SWTPC clipped a corner on bare boards they sold without a kit of parts.) The keyboard was an old Keytronics unit. I wanted to restore it to "factory" condition. My brother had just given me a nice Metcal soldering station so stripped the main board of all parts and only lifted a few pads. Over the next 6 months I collected a complete set of parts. In the last month I got serious about this project and I have finished except for a new clear acrylic plastic case. This unit is now closer to "factory" condition then when it was assembled in 1976 or 1977. All of the ICs are the correct part (7474 not a 74LS74 substitute.) The capacitors new but are the same type as the original. They tend to be smaller in size then the 1975 versions. I was able to get all new Molex connectors. There was a recent flame war on what is new and what is original but I think this restoration improved this classic computer terminal.
