Now THAT was a printer!
The old original one doubled as a musical instrument.

The 1403-N1 (I think it was) model had the full sound abatement cover,
with powered lift cover (which you could programmatically raise!).
Tried to find a picture of this model from the front, but all I could

First came out in 1959, but lasted for decades.
