Summary

[edit]
Description The TV Typewriter was video terminal that could display 16 lines of 32 upper case characters on a standard television. Designed by Don Lancaster, it was published in the September 1973 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. Thousands were built, this one by Bob Rethemeyer. The bare circuit boards could be ordered but Bob fabricated his own boards.
The lower board is the mainframe with the power supply and RF modulator. Above that is the cursor board. The cursor keeps track of where the next character goes. The middle board has 512 six-bit words of screen memory. The top board generates all of the timing signals. These boards could be stacked in any order. The control switches are in the background.
