[GreenKeys] Need Teletype Model 32/33 ASR (ASR-32/33)

[David Tumey]

When was a teenager, a friend of my dad's who worked at the phone company gave me two ASR-33's and an ASR-32 all in great condition - for free of course as they would have been scrapped otherwise - my how times change!  I built a small computer around a Motorola 6802 that allowed me to create a nice RTTY station with the 33's.  It could also read and send CW as a "Morse-to-ASCII" and "ASCII-to-Morse" converter.  I joined the Air Force after college and every time I moved, I took one less Teletype with me...unfortunately I moved to many times.  I am trying to rebuild the RTTY station of my youth and the last pieces needed are the Teletypes.  There were north of 600,000 produced and assuming 95% are in landfills, that should leave 30,000+ in circulation.
 
I am looking for an ASR-33 or ASR-32 (I created new RTTY software in VB6 that will work with either) in excellent condition as my goal is to restore the machine to like-new condition.  The machine does NOT need to work.  I have Wayne lined up to restore the mechanicals so really the machine needs to be in excellent shape cosmetically and complete with no broken unobtainium.  Now I know that this may be a tall order and I am willing to "step up" to the task.
 
So...if you are sitting on this machine - maybe your XYL is telling you to get rid of it - I am ready to make you an offer you can't refuse.
 
Thanks..AR
