Ethan,

The early TP1 is a nice machine to hunt for as well. It has a slightly different style to the ribbon cover, the paper tray is clear acrylic plastic, and you can find the key-tops in a lovely green or dark grey.

If you scroll through the TWDB photo galleries, you will see some photos of the early TP1.

Ethan,

Forgot to mention...the TP1 came with Tabulator features, but some of them came from the factory without any Tabulator. Hold out for one with the Tabulator.

And it had a 2-function set up. User could choose to use factory pre-set Tab stops or the user could set as many Tab stops as they desired.
