Chuck,
The Group Mark key was on later IBM 1620 Model 1 typewriters as well as
the Model 2 Selectrics.
See:

The flagged numeric blank was accidentally left out of the print sample
I made.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Eugene,
I found my Emulex boards, but found TU13s and not QT13s. I did not look at
the S box boards.
Then I found a few Cipher Data Products ( AKA Spectra Logic Products)
500A00s. I'm not sure what they are, but they look like re-branded Emulex
with different handles.
Did Dilog or anyone else

It's an excerpt from a new book. I know the author. Very nice and smart
guy who spent several decades at IBM.

AFAICT, that is totally wrong. The 8000 series was completely INCOMPATIBLE
with any of the 7000 series machines. In fact, most of the 7000

It is funny that the fellow that is selling the DSKY may not have the legal
right to sell it. It may technically belong to the trash company that collected
the rest of the stuff.
I'm a trash scrounger myself but there are differences with stuff no one cares

You should talk to Carl as he’s created (or far along in the process) of a DSKY
to interface to
an actual AGC that’s being restored (there are a number of videos on-line of
the restoration
effort…mostly done by converting a hotel room into a lab).

Great, thank you to everyone!
This is what I purchased...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/171171330190
looks to be the right thing. I would have made it myself but I'd have to buy
like 50 feet minimum of the ribbon plus connectors plus shipping plus my time.
This seemed like a good compromise.

And don't forget about the 25% buyer's premium! Wow
