yes, but only in German

it's basically very close. But due to the fact that the T63 is is a "3
level" machine, letters latin, latters cyrillc, figures)
there some differences needed to get the 3rd level functionality.
BTW: The RFT T63 is the only ever build two language mechanical teleprinter
as far as I knoiw.

the function code is "code 32", not that good for you guys in the US as you
are used to use
it for run out....
