TV Typewriter Cover Unit location?

[Brad]

Yeah sorry.. wasn't clear on that one I guess.  The cover unit is this guy:

I'm just curious if anyone out there knows what happened to it.  Seems like the kind of thing that would have been preserved.  I very much doubt I'd be able to find those keytops.  I don't even know if that unit was fully functional or mostly a cover prop.  The keytops appear to all have extra symbols.  I've seen early 70s keyboards that come close but not quite.

Okay, now I'm confused.  The photo linked to is what you're building, using Micro Switch assemblies, but that's not what you're talking about.

So, how about a photo of exactly what you're looking for?
