Start here, and see the keyboard built into the desktop. http://ibm1130.org/
You could also hook up a display unit, which came with another keyboard. http://www.columbia.edu/cu/computinghistory/2250.html Note the function keypad to the left of the keyboard.

That's pretty cool.

This 1972 Hazeltine was cool too: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/computinghistory/h2000.html I wonder if the keyboard separated from the display?

its a 60% beamspring!

They got even smaller... http://www.columbia.edu/cu/computinghistory/2260.html

Yeah I've seen those pictures. I've never seen one here though. That IBM 2260 Display Station is awesome.

If you want to see modern-day pictures of that Hazeltine 2000, one sold on eBay in July.

Thats actually a pretty decent price for such a rare item. Looks a little like a microwave.

LOL! It probably put off enough heat to cook with...

That's funny, the 1130 was also in my thread about the Kiel Computer museum from a few days ago:

Don't forget about the IBM 2976 - http://deskthority.net/f-o-r-s-a-l-e-f5 ... 3-900.html

Let's see... $1.27M divided by 300... just over $4200 each in 1972 dollars. (That's a bit out of my price range..)

Yep, that was primo hardware with a hefty pricetag back in the day!
