General Electric
terminet perhaps!

was it a kind of beige color?
if you open it up and it is a band type printer with character fingers this
is probably what it is....
I think they also made a later one that was dot matrix called a terminet
30?... foggy brain... sorry....

manuals are available out there for them, we have a set at the msueum here
but none scanned online...

Ge terminets and tty's were the first terminals I dealt in back in the dark
ages...
