Hello!
I'm not really into teletype myself, but I know where to find you guys,
and I also hate to see historical documents and equipment go into the
dumpster...
Parts and equipment from the estate of a SK ham who was into RTTY and a
MARS member was donated to the local repeater club. They didn't even
know what most of it was, so I offered to help find homes for things,
with all proceeds going to the club. The only working(?) tty machine
had to be abandoned in the attic, but some equipment and a stack of
manuals were saved, so far. I don't know what the best way to
dispose of them is other than to ask you guys, since neither the club
nor I has any interest in parcelling them out one at a time on eBay or
such. I can make a complete inventory if necessary but here's a starter
to see if there is any interest:
I have a stack about 7" tall of Teletype Corporation Manuals for model
14 and 15 machines. Each is in the "official" Teletype subsidiary of
Western Electric Company binding and all are in excellent but not NIB
condition and dates range from the 30s-40s. There are a few duplicates
but most are different, and include titles like "Description Type Bar
Page Printer Model 15", "Parts-Tables", "Parts Regenerator Unit and Panel".
I'd appreciate a DIRECT email from anyone with further interest or
suggestions about what the best way to dispose of these manuals would
be, e.g. individually or as a lot, and any offers will be passed along
to the club for consideration.
Thanks for assisting me in this, as I hope these beautifully-done
technical manuals don't end up in the landfill.
73, Bob W9RAN
