[GreenKeys] Model 43 tape punch-reader project

[Teletypeparts]

Doug,

I was under the impression that 43's came out in the 1970's, but I expect Don knows for sure.  

You should be able to find a 43 or 42 (much rarer) cheaply as you could not give them away a few years ago.  I tossed a 43 KSR into a dumpster a couple of years ago when I had a new roof put on the house.  

Cassette tape storage I have seen when I worked for WU Data Services in Portland, Maine for a short time.  Cant remember much about the details except you put the message on cassette instead of punched tape and then sent it.  

Wayne

One of my interests is the ‘retro’ product styling of the late 60‘s - mid 70’s.  The Model 43 (and 42) tape punch/reader is a classic example of this.
Doubtful I will find an original, I may try making a replica of the enclosure, and put in a suitable tape punch/reader, from say a model 32.  Anyone
who has photos, drawings, manuals or technical information, let me know.  Thanks to Don House, for already helping out on the project!


Also, I saw online (probably a Teletype ad, not sure I saved it), a reference made to a ‘cassette storage’ option for this model.  Is that referring to a
peripheral storage device?  Did such a device exist?


Below are a couple nice photos of a 43 TTY and tape punch/reader, in you are interested.

As mentioned in a separate post, I’m also looking for a Model 43 (42) Teletype, hopefully close to New Jersey.
