{{infobox dkeyboard | image name = Raytheon 6104-04 front view.jpg | manufacturer = Cortron | switch = [[ITW magnetic valve]] | layouts = [[ANSI]] | weight = | years = 1977-1982 | keycaps = [[Double-shot moulding]] }} ==Description== The Raytheon 6104-04 keyboard was part of the Raytheon Display Terminal System family; Two typewriter-style keyboards (both ASCII), one without and one with a numeric keyset, are available with the 2260 Emulator. A 69-key data entry and a 69- or 81-key typewriter keyboard are available with the 3270 Emulator. EBCDIC-only keyboards are provided with the Local 3270 Emulator; while EBCDIC or ASCII keyboards are available with the Remote 3270 Emulator. The 69-key format includes 2 Program Attention keys, and the 81-key format adds 12 Program Function keys. Appropriate keyboards are provided with the PARS/IPARS, Honeywell, and Univac emulators. A magnetic stripe reader may be added to the keyboard for security.Keyboards are not connected to their corresponding display monitors; data keyed and data displayed are entirely controlled by the stored program. The 6104-04 uses [[ITW magnetic valve]] switches that employ a magnetism to stop the flow of current which signals a press as opposed to a Hall Effect switch which detects the strength of the magnetic field directly. Unfortunately, ITW keycaps are not compatible with Honeywell Hall Effect switches. This keyboard uses a Deltrol clicker which is not a solenoid. Both electromagnetic Hall Effect and Magnetic Valve contact mechanisms are rated similarly high in durability. ==Serial No.0000T9244R== <gallery widths=250px heights=187px> File:Raytheon 6104-04 label.jpg | Label File:Raytheon 6104-04 production details.jpg | Production markings on the plate File:Raytheon 6104-04 PCB.jpg | PCB File:Raytheon 6104-04 Deltrol clicker.jpg | Deltrol clicker File:Raytheon 6104-04 case date.jpg | Production date inside case File:Raytheon 6104-04 ITW magnetic valve switch.jpg | ITW magnetic valve switch File:Raytheon 6104-04 locking switch.jpg | Locking switch File:Raytheon 6104-04 connector.jpg | Connector </gallery> ==External links== * Bitsavers PDF β [ftp://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/datapro/alphanumeric_terminals/Datapro_C25_Raytheon.pdf Raytheon PTS-100 Display Terminal System Documentation] * Deskthority β [https://deskthority.net/photos-f62/raytheon-6104-04-t12181.html Raytheon 6104-04] * Deskthority β [https://deskthority.net/photos-f62/raytheon-6104-04-t15676.html Raytheon 6104-04] * Rhode Island Computer Museuem β [http://www.ricomputermuseum.org/Home/interesting_computer_items/raytheon-data-systems Raytheon Data Systems] * Terminals Wiki β [http://terminals-wiki.org/wiki/index.php/Raytheon_PTS-100 Raytheon PTS-100] * Starekomputery β [http://www.starekomputery.pl/zg-Komputery-Raytheon_PTS100-335-165.html Raytheon PTS-100] [[Category:Vintage keyboards]] [[Category:Raytheon keyboards]] [[Category:List of all keyboards]]
