The Communications Museum down the street from you has at least one 37
ASR, maybe more...
perhaps you could get one on an inter-museum loan.
I am in the process of restoring a 37ASR that was the last Teletype
used on the Hot Line to Moscow.
When finished it is scheduled to be shipped to the Communications
Museum in Seattle.
I feel it is important since the machine was NOT used as a computer
peripheral but for national security communications
between Washington and Moscow.
I also have spare M37 Parts and Typing Units and was trained by
Teletype Corporation on their installation and maintenance.
I also have a M37 RO but so far I am not willing to give it up.
Sadly the largest number of Model 37 parts were junked many years ago
as being worthless.

P.S. Your website does not show your interest in any Teletype machines.

One person replied saying that these ASR 37 teletypewriters are pretty
rare, possibly even impossible to find. I am prepared to search to the
ends of the earth to procure one. My boss suggests that they shipped
many to Russia, and that I may be able to find some there. Are there
any good sites that show Russian vintage collections, museums, etc?

The Living Computer Museum is looking to purchase a working or
restorable ASR 37 teletype. Do you have any leads? Thanks very much.
