Big deal. Gutenberg's press probably still works today.

That encoder in your 2563A is only used to determine printbar position.
A simple free-running ac motor & crankshaft move the bar but can't
position it.
The print data is passed over copper wire ribbon cables.
Sorry but nothing amazing there.
I don't know, but a printer that was produced in 1984 and still running
today is amazing to me. I doubt many printers produced in 2011 will be
running in 2018, let alone 2038.
