[GreenKeys] Friden SFD-V

[simon]

Is it that rare? I had not the slightest idea. It is working again, but 
has been sitting on a shelf for the last year. this machine uses a 8pt 
typeface, really small and has the edge card punchers and readers setup.

It uses a different code than the SPD I have. that one has a label on 
the back with "Bull Code" stamped on it. I have to do the power roll 
again on the president version as the typing is quite uneven in pressure.
