There were many electric typewriters that DO have chips (this unfortunately isnt electric)

NEC upd70 series were popular

And FACIT is swedish by the way!

(They also made computers in the late 50:s and 60:s for the military industry around Saab.)

ROTFLMAO

I thought you were pulling our legs when I first saw this thread, I didn't realise you genuinely thought it might be electric (the lack of a power connection should have been a giveaway...).

I agree that it's worth checking if they are collectable. Something you and I might think is junk might be a treasure chest to someone else (after all, we all collect chips that others would just bin or melt down, and in some cases we would pay $100's...)

Yeah.. see that's the only picture I got for it, I simply thought that the power cord was missing, hence why I don't see the sides or back , is why I thought it might have been electric Wink But it's nice to know that the brand is an important one to look for in electric (thanx cpuswe).
