I have learned what codes in the whiffletree linkage produce what characters and have improved manual typing by adjusting the solenoids again in response to wrong characters but I still am having some trouble with playback from the tape.

  • OMG, that seems way too complex to me. I think I'd have either gotten rid of it or torn it completely apart, LOL. You're a better man than I for sticking with it.

  • I just wonder if the tape could be going bad.

  • coolest typewriter... Have you tried looked for ppl that did service to this machine?

  • once you build the LED interface then you can write a computer program to turn this typewriter in to a printer and use a computer instead of the tape drive that's built in ?????????

  • Does the solenoids have a type of feedback, if so they are probably are proportional type, meaning they probaly have variable voltage pulling the solenoid in so far to a cetrain point and stops. Not like a standars solenoid that goes full sstroke either direction. Great vid Chad
