Hi Folks,
I have an original IBM model B computer controlled typewriter witha lot
of spares
and maintenance manuals available for sale ortrade. This stuff is
impossible to find. As used on the IBM 1620,DEC PDP-1
and many other
computers of the era. Useful if you'remaintaining one of those
or want to
build a
replica/simulator.
Respond to me directly as I'm not a member of this list.
Thanks, Erik

Subject: Searching an IBM Model B typewriter for IBM 1620
I got just another jewel to my collection, IBM 1620 Model I (G level).
Machine
has all internals intact, but table top and the
typewriter are missing
(probably
doorway was too narrow back then, parts removed and
forgotten somewhere
on the journey... ) That table top can be made again, but I would need
that right
model typewriter. Anyone have a spare..?
Also I have another problem with it, memory is suffering wire corrosion
(like
these all does). So this can be a looooong shot, but
if someone have a
functional
memory or just core array, I'm interested to buy
or swap it to something.
Photos can be found my blog, link below.
Thaaaaanks!
