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.
I have a model 32, 33 and a 35

The 32 (telex) I acquired some time ago from Wayne, the mode 33 (ASR) some 20 years ago for 2 botttles of wine
and the 35 with only 14 hours on it's clock for Eur 99 at a German army surplus shop just 2 years ago.
It was a KSR and had no pedestal, but was able to get one for free a few months later.

Both the 33 & 35 are connected to a very old computer.
