Sharing my recent collection piece. This time it's typewriter Facit 6480 made in Sweden. Hoped for chance to test some Alps SKFF switches, but instead this one has Alps SKCC Side-Angled Cream (tee mount for keys with led). Can't complain either way. It's basically the same thing that HaaTa wonderfully documented here: photos-videos-f64/facit-8111-2-typewriter-t12424.html, but wider and with addition of calculator. Works fine, so really happy with this one.
This thing is big (switchplate is 60cm wide) and really heavy so no wonder someone dropped it in transport
Metal badge.
Switches need a good cleaning. They aren't terrible by any means but it's not butter smooth... No binding wich is slight relief, except enter and tab key, wwhich are terribly stabilized (with dummy switches)
Doubleshot caps with quite unusual shape. Really diggin theese.
Super steady shot of the calculator part
. But this thing is neat since it works independetly from the rest. So you can type something, then do some calculations (displayed on the VFD) and resume typing. What was previously typed is stored in memory, and is going back to it. There's no metion of the calculator in the instruction which is kinda weird. So don't know what T,I,K buttons do exactly.
The future plan is to convert it to custom keyboard. Have an idea how this thing should look like. Of course with option to go back and mount it in typewriter in needed.
I hope I remember to check this when I get home.
The attached PDF could help you to customize the keyboard
