My Trendata 1000 Selectric terminal went in a garage sale years ago. Here is
a picture of me at the terminal.

A local computer store near Seattle sold these for about $900 in 1978.
Several people in the Northwest Computer Society got them. We had low cost
access to time-sharing on a PDP-11/70 at night that supported the terminal.
I still have the documents and software if you want to hook one up to a
SWTPC 6800 computer.
Here is a photo from the IBM 2741 Communication Terminal manual.

Yeah, that's the standard photo that's been around on the net for a
while -- although yours is a nice high-res scan!
However, the 2741 that I used had a different case than the normal
typewriter case. I recall it as being not as tall as a Selectric and
it was significantly deeper than a Selectric to accomodate the extra
electronics and the acoustic coupler.
