[GreenKeys] How did you acquire your Teletypes?

[tomas at tlec.se]

Well, I got my 33asr from a guy that used it for is old CNC-machine.

Thats a very good source for model 33 ASR, since they where extensevly used as a tape puncher for CNC-machines

 

With best regards

(This is my first post to the email list)

 

I just started getting into teletypes this year, mainly off my fascination with early computing input/output. However, I'm struggling in acquiring teletypes. So far Ebay has been my only source for both material and teletypes themselves. It's been a crapshoot to say the least. I've gotten a nice Model 32 Teletype that I've managed to repair, but a Model 33 101c Teletype that I got came in the worst packing job I have ever seen, it's repairable, but cosmetically it's beyond repair (I spent about 4 hours glueing and melting plastic pieces back together). 

 

In the end I'd just like to know how you got your teletypes? Any tips for a new guy?

 

Many thanks.
