Magnetorestrictive delay lines and a charactron.
http://bitsavers.org/pdf/rca/terminal/70_750/70-01-752-U_Model_70_752_Video…
We got one (no keyboard) a couple days ago with the manual. I'm still cleaning it up.
It had something nesting in it and
the inside has sunflower seed husks in it. It was made with plastic DIP ICs, no idea of
the logic family. The keyboard
was made by IBM, don't know what character code it produces. Pretty funky if it
encodes ASCII.

Nice a selectric keyboard... It looks like it has links that operates a
microswitch for each of the bails. The bails that would get pulled when
the filter shaft comes around would depend on the tabs present on the
key interposers, so the key interposers would determine the coding of
the keyboard and it would be possible to have it generate 7 bit ASCII
code by using an appropriately "programmed" interposer under the keys.

Looks like the folder name changed from 70_750 to 70_752:
