Wow, an MT/ST. Those are extraordinarily rare. Like "I've not heard of
any of them surviving in the wild" rare. Also, I think I saw someone
either on the Classiccmp mailing list or Discord server that was
looking for a magtape Selectric control unit.

Of course, the same magtape unit was used with the Magnetic Tape
Selectric COmposer, which is an even more rare beast (the Selectric
Composer was proportionally spaced, not fixed pitch like a regular
typewriter).

Regards,
Christian
