Dang. This was my first TTY machine, in '66 when I was 14. Paid $40 for
it - back then that was the kid-equivalent of buying a house - lotta
money! Mine was the gummed-paper-strip printer, and even had the moistener
and 'compositor' thingie on the side... it was kinda problematic when the
humidity was higher than normal - overnight the gum would stick to the
rubber capstan and subsequently provide the opportunity for a hour's worth
of disassebly and cleaning...
