Hi Wayne,

All the stuff i have is baudot.  

Brag tape follows...

The Model 19 (or 15) is a true teletype brand.  Late 40's early 50's if i was to guess. It is functional but without a cover.  45baud. Photocopy of military manual.  Several roles of paper.

Behind the Model 19 is a ww2 TU heavily modified.  It was functional and what i used, but will require some effort to use.  You take a teletype, you take the TU.  There is nothing nicer to tune with than a true '+' pattern displayed in the wonderfull green glow of a 2" crt.

The reperferator is western electric (or union) brand if i recall.  Keyboard, punch, and print/punch to tape.  Perhaps early 60's.  It was functional but havent checked it recently.  Has cover, tape reel, and is complete.  Half a box of tape.  I seem to remember it was 45baud, but cant be certain.  No picture, but very similar to these: http://www.navy-radio.com/rtty/ratt-5301/ratt-5301-02.JPG

The diagnostic tape reader in the forground of the tty picture has a gear shift to adjust to any standard baud rate, and a variable bias adjustment to vary the duty cycle of the bits to do stress tests on lines and printers.  We can negotiate that if you are interested.  It is the only one i have ever seen.

There is also a Model 28 ASR that will become available in july.  It is 75 baud.  Very nice, very clean, and was fully functional.  original manual set.  I suspect 45baud gears can be had.  I understand it was one in a bank of teletypes used to print weather data at lebanon airport.

There is half a bag of punched tapes that when run will print pictures of mickey mouse, christmas scenes, presidents, etc.  You would have fun exploring those!

All units have not been run in quite a while but were functional.  Each will need half a can of machine oil before fireing up.  All were stored indoors in a dry, clean room.  You would be very happy with any of them.

All equipment is located in Cornish, NH.  You load, you haul.

I will very much miss the model 19.  I spent many hours on 80meters with it.
