A friend was alerted to the presence of various teleprinters in a garage 
in Dorset that were free for collection. There was a Siemens 68A (I 
think), a Creed 7B, a couple of 6S tape readers, a type 25 punch and a 
Teletype 15. He and another friend have taken on the Siemens and Creed 
machines and I now have the Teletype 15. Internally it appears to be in 
very good condition with evidence that it has been lubricated not too 
long ago. There are a few missing key tops and the platen winding handle 
is missing. The left hand side of the spacebar has been broken off. 
Apart from that it looks as though it is a runner. I'll do some internet 
research and if I can't find answers I'll ask here.
