Hi, Ed - how ya' been - it's been a while!

Hmm...   We're going to need more info - what do you have so 
far?  The machines you already have - or intend to use - 
dictate much - for instance parts for Teletype won't help a 
Klein...  For that matter - manuals for a Teletype 33 won't 
help for a Teletype 15 or 19...  Wire service type Fax 
machines are around -- but they aren't exactly common - 
since they are so specialized and difficult to run (parts, 
supplies, etc.).  Posters, signs: artwork is available on 
the net - nice originals are near "made of unobtainium" 
status these days...   glitz stuff - Don House may have some 
"stuff" he can share from the big museum - but time and 
distance for him is an issue - and there are other "long 
time TTY guys" who might have some excess to share - but 
again - it'd be helpful to know what it's going with...

best regards...
