I think it is a Diablo 1620. It was part of a ClassIC which is an 8/a with RX-01 and VT terminal of some type in a desk with a chair. This one had the daisy wheel printer and a DECwriter. I have not looked closely at the printer mechanism. The DECwriter is in pretty bad shape but I have the 8/a and RX-01 running (mostly). The original desk and chair are going to be refurbished next.
