Re: Great/Interesting Finds
Second that. Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I do not see the appeal of blue Selectric keys on these 3278/3279 boards. The standard white ones look so nice already. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-IBM-3278-3279-Beamspring-Keyboard-with-IBM-Selectric-Blue-Keycaps/154422046622?hash=item23f4456f9e:g:...

Re: Is this unremarkable?
Stunning! I'm working on restoring a Displaywriter system right now, and I remembered this thread. I intentionally marked the keyboard case with a Sharpie, let it dry, and then took pictures of ethanol and an eraser removing it completely. The final picture is after about 3 minutes of work.

Re: Introducing "Selectricship"
I really appreciate the information! It makes this monster even beefier :lol: And yes, I love keeping things as OG as possible, without mismatching, unless the original parts are in inferior quality. For example, I have an Omnikey 102, but I hated the OG caps. So I used a set of thicker Arabic doubl...

Re: Introducing "Selectricship"
Thanks Weezer, actually I had the option to buy just the blue caps and I chose to buy the whole machine because I did the same research as you did and realized that this could be the only one out there.

Of course. Here you go: https://i.imgur.com/NRfBJZH.jpg You will find a youtube video on this machine, made by the guy who refurbished the core for me.

Yeah! I think you're right -- it was used as a teletype/printer as well.

Actually, one of the most expensive Displaywriters seen in a while, if you really follow the sales of this model.
