My spd is a very decent machine: it does'nt even have a exclamation mark. :-) could you make pictures of the typeplate on the back of your machines? it would be interesting to see if there were more codebases used other then the regular friden and bull ones

those readers are not only for the adresses in mailmerge, but also data for the date of other numerical info. I think they even could increase a digit per letter printed. be carefull though, here in the netherlands the machines are 230v and have a transformer in them for the relays and they work on 48volt. the 110v version is directly connected to mains. i have one auxilliary reader on 110v and one auxilliary puncher (not inspected yet) and connecting the rweader to my 230v machine did blow the 10ohm 30w resistor in the power supply for the relais.

well, it way look like a teleprinter, but only the most expensive version had some means of in/out. and then only parallel 8bit with clock. no currentloop or serial. they hooked them up to an mechanical calculator to form what they called a "computyper" this was a accounting machine.
this version has those 2x 50pin connectors, but nothing is attached except for jumper-connectors.
i will put online a video of the machine in action
(edit) here it is:

Well, accoding to specs, it's about 45 kilo. and that for a typewriter. I have several telexes, but none come close.

hello there,
as the first posting in this section, there was no better candidate than the Friden Flexowriter, by far the most heavy desktop typewriter around.
we have one in our collection at hack42.nl and one keycap is wrong. on the spot of the letter v there is a upside down 7 & cap. so i'm looking for a reddisch brown keycap "v"
