I have seen model 32 KSR's used for TTY for the deaf.  Acoustic  coupler 
built right into the UCC-6 cover.  The state of Vermont had about  8 around 
the state.  They knew I was available to repair them, but they  never broke 
down.  I only serviced one locally, lube and  inspection.  
 
There was another 32 at Austine School for The Deaf in Brattleboro,  VT.  I 
did service that one once as I remember.  
 
I also found one directly across the street from me when I first moved  
back to Rutland, VT from Kansas.  It was a model 15 with an acoustic  coupler 
in an upstairs apartment.  A lot to carry to the second  floor.  
 
All these machines are gone now as I guess I missed the chance to pick up  
some of them in the early 90's.

tty  for the  deaf - \
 
yes!  if only they had  a loop output!   the   ones we have here   go right 
to an acoustic coupler.
this of course  could be added...
 
and yes...  we do have a collection of them here at the  museum  as 
telecommunications for the deaf is  one of our focus areas. ( and  yes... we are  
looking for more of them manuals  for them   pictures of people using them ,  
reminisces  about the dawn of the  deaf finally being able to use the phone 
system. 
 
WE TAKE THIS SEGMENT OF HISTORY VERY SERIOUS!   communications  
accessibility is where it is at.
In addition we have a fair about of  material and hardware related  to 
closed  and open captioning  both from the subscriber end and  the  Television 
studio end.
 
 
Would love to hear  from any of  you  with  similar involvement including 
those in the  late 60's and 70   that assisted in rebuilding  TTYs   for the  
Deaf.

Well, this isn't exactly a graceful way to do it, but  it worked
for me...

I provided a 28 TTY for a movie ("American  Gangster" with Denzel 
Washington)
a few years ago and they wanted to be  able to send messages to it on the
fly. Usually I'd bring along a TD and  tape.
So I brought my laptop and a Dovetron ASCII-to-Baudot box  (TBA-1000). I set
the
laptop to 110 Baud ASCII and dumped it into the  Dovetron. The Dovetron then
outputted at 100 wpm Baudot.  Another  way to do it is with a Black Box CAP
which is a code converter. It does  just about anything in and anything
out...
they still sell them.   (By the way, the TTY scene was cut from the movie...
but I had a great  time and a  few movie stars got to meet me.)

Finally, you could  load in Heavymetal and it would work OK, but not as
simply as the above  stuff.  The good thing, though, is that you can have
preload test  messages in Heavymetal (.txt files), ready to send.

Nothing beats a  Fox Box....!

Finally...has anyone ever tried to figure out how to use  one of the
"TTY for the deaf" terminals? They were originally Baudot.
