Remember ZORK? Take a look at this typewriter which has been automated by hooking up tons of electro-mechanical goodness to an old typewriter! Thanks for the tip Jack. “Each key is attached by fishing line to a solenoid, an electromechanical device that pulls down when electric current is passed through it. The solenoids sit behind and underneath the typewriter in a multi-layer structure. The solenoids are connected to a MOSFET, which allows the lower-power parts of the circuit to control the high-power solenoids.” |

Does anyone know if this is a mechanical or an electric typewriter?

It’s a SCM electro-mechanical typewriter. It’s got a motor in there which provides the power to swing the type.
This is all cool and that, but it seems to be a whole lot of work to replicate a model 33 Teletype?

IBM made data-driven typewriters in the 1970s – used mag cards for storage as I recall. Also, at one point, there was a company trying to sell a solenoid interface for electric typewriters – a bank of actuators that lay above the keyboard and pushed the keys. I don’t know if they ever sold one.
