This isn't the famous Linotron 202 phototypesetter that Condon, Kernighan and Thompson famously reverse engineered to fix a lot of bugs in it in the summer of 1979 as described in the paper at https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~bwk/202/summer.reconstructed.pdf but it is a related item, and intact phototypesetters are INCREDIBLY RARE. This could well be the last one of its type.
It's not, but...heh...I know where one of that lineage sits, and someone who shall remain nameless really wants to get rid of it, so much so that he recently offered it to me, when it came from me in the first place! ;) -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
