Are there any print heads with the full ASCII character set, replacing the silly typewriter characters? I'm (slowly) working on a wheelwriter conversion, and the ASCII print wheels do exist, but they are quite rare and expensive.

Your voice gives "Joe Pera Talks You to Sleep" vibes! Don't worry, this did NOT talk me to sleep LOL. Despite that I would never do this, nor did I search for it, I watched/listened to the end. Congrats on structuring this video in a way that held my attention on a subject and process that I technically didn't need to know, nor did I necessarily understand entirely, yet remained fully immersed and fascinated while following the overview! 😄

Oooo try Linux program called jp2a to convert a jpeg or png to ascii. Then you can print some fancy ascii art to it.

The reason I clicked on and now subscribed to your channel is my sentimental passion for APL and the IBM 2741. With the ability of converting a IBM Selectric typewriter into a printer, and the 3D printing of typeballs (like the APL font), the real possibility exists that the IBM 2741 could be reverse engineered in 2024. I still occasionally use APL\360 via Hercules, but what a rush it would be to do it as in 1973!

Pretty cool. Avis Rent a Car was the first RAC company to computerize first reservations, then counter operations. The first computer was, naturally, a modified IBM Selectric. I started with the company in 1984 when they were already on the 3rd generation system, with standard IBM 3270 terminals. In 1986 I transferred to a licensee operation in Binghamton, NY, which had no computer. On a cold rainy day in April, I drove across half of NY to Jamestown to pick up an old Wizard I system, which consisted of the gray cabinet, the Selectric, the logic (computer & modem) unit and the cabling that connected them all. It was great to be connected to the world again. Sadly, Avis stopped supporting the older units within a few months, and we returned to analog operations.

What if the print falls somehow? I know it is printing on some sort of rug (I don't know I've never owned a 3d printer in my life) but it can fall, I think

OMG! I worked at Hydro Products for over 6 years! That camera was before my time. The TC-125 was the one I worked on. I began as a tech at Hydro, went into field service, and then the Marketing/Sales department. Traveled quite a bit in those days: Brussels, Belgium, Aberdeen, Scotland, and many U.S. cities.
