Congrats!

I recall that the 35 that was in the Men's Dorm complex computer room at Carnegie-Mellon U back in around 1972 had one of these.  We used it to communicate with the IBM 360/67 in the computer center that ran the TSS/360 timesharing operating system (C-MU may have been the only TSS/360 installation in the world that actually got it working).  I remember being fascinated by two things about the M35 (aside from its delux size):  The typebox mechanism, and the fact that the printer on the tape was essentially an M33 print mechanism simplified.  That was the only 35 I ever used.  All my other TTY experience was on M33s.
