Well, I guess I started something.  I hope no one was offended.  I have 
enjoyed the challenge of working on all the Teletype machines that have come into 
my life.  

I forgot to mention that I also worked on Western Union clocks and the early 
fax machines.  I forget the model number.  They were transceivers and in 
receive mode burned the message with a stylus onto special paper.  They sent with a 
focused light.  I believe they had to go thru Western Unions central office 
to work.  I will think of the model number after I send this message.   

I like 28's the best of the old stuff, but my favorite and most worked on 
machine has to be the 33 ASR as computer terminal or TWX and also as J&L machine 
tool editor. 

I just finished re-furbishing a 33 ASR this week.  It challenged me with a 
lot of problems, but was worth the trip.   

Thanks to all for the comments.  

Regards,

Wayne
