I checked that out- very cool! I couldn't help but wonder if you could find someone with the ability to create you a boot floppy for it.
Snuci?

Systel runs CP/M but is synonymous with electric typewriters. I don't have one or any floppies for it but it is a fairly rare system. Sadly, it's one of those ones that are so uncommon that it is not sought after. It's a pretty interesting just the same. If I ever come across disk images for this, I will let you know HaaTa.
If you want to remove the paint, you can probably just use some paint thinner. Just be careful if, by chance, the key caps have painted characters.

Never seen this clicky foil and foam. Is that an variant of Key Tronic?
And the pressed feeling seems excellent. What is the pressed felling compare with another mechanical switch?

Yeah, that black cylinder thing with a hole in it. A sort of speaker/transducer.
