I had a keyboard (originally from a Tektronix Silent-700 terminal



Texas Instruments made the Silent-700 line of terminals. I think I
still have one around here.


I have 2 rolls of paper for Silent-700, still in the black
plastic bags.


And what color is the paper by now? :-) Unless it was stored in
a cool environment the whole time, it is likely too dark to use. :-)
After all, the printing was done by flashing it with heat. That is what
made it "silent" compared to the mechanical marvel which was the ASR-33
Teletype. :-)

Enjoy,
