Also on the original front – I don’t think anyone harboring an original TVT project would be willing to give it up for less than lots of money, given how rare and important historically they are. So that’s why I’m not holding my breath there.

Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] TV Typewriter: Custom G10 copper clad
Yeah
And besides, there are scant few folks around in hobby electronics nowadays that have ever actually
laid eyes on a finished (or unfinished) Lancaster TV Typewriter. It is totally obsolete by todays standards and state
of the art.
And, as Lancaster envisioned, the thing was to be enclosed in a kind of wooden desk-top enclosure, so
nobody sees the circuit boards anyway.
Too bad that a search can't somehow be made on the internet, inquiring if there is some
"old-timer" (like me) that has a Lancaster TV Typewriter in a dusty pile of forgotten projects,
and that way, you could get the "real" item and bring it back online.
These are just suggestions.........now, don't everbody jump on me with snide remarks.
Regards.

Snip:
Most people are going to look at you as if you are crazy for wanting a specific colour and weave of material. That is because you are crazy of course, and nothing to worry about.
It will not help your quest at all, but consider buying double sided laminate (with copper on both sides). I found it much easier to obtain and just etch one side away completely for single sided boards. Of course it makes impossible to see the inside.
Also mind that in any case the copper on the other side will severely change the colour you see, even if the seller provides a photo of the board side. The copper layer is actually a dark red underneath, completely different colour from the shiny top surface.
