As I recall the only 1052 for use as a S/360 console was the 1052-7. I believe that the 3210 also used the "golfball" but that the 3215 and 3287 had dot matrix impact printers.
Having COM in those days sounds like luxury; I'm envious. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

As I recall from around 40 years ago, we had the Selectric (bouncing ball) version of the 1052 on our mod 30, 40 and 65 systems. With long displays it quickly went down hill. I am fairly certain that the 3287 was our hardcopy device on MVS although at this late point I don't recall how much console traffic was routed to it. Starting with MVT we also printed SYSLOG to Fiche once a day.
