Excellent copy!  Made my day!

The printers/consoles I always liked for a classic look were the
Friden Flexowriters.  You see them in the movies, sometimes.   They
were slow, ugly, and noisy, and looked like the secretary's '30's style
typewriter.  Alas, I never could quite get them set up to run on my 8
bit machines, and settled for ASR-33's instead, where everything was
in one ``box''.   They were not very reliable though, compared
to the Model 37's or the later Model 40 chain printers.
