[GreenKeys] How did you acquire your Teletypes?

[tomas at tlec.se]

Well, My first encounter with a teletyp, actually a Model 33 ASR was when I 16 years old, back in -76 started my first year in High school (think that it is the proper translation from Swedish)
The school had previous year bought Alpha LSI 16, also known as the "Naked Mini" manufacured by CA (Computer Automation).
In the first Year a single Model 33 ASR was used as terminal, later the ALPHA was connected to some 20+ terminals, but the 33ASR was still used, for print-outs and paperpunch ( how would we store our software, if not on papertape).

Basically I learned programming on this Model 33 ASR

Now, since a year back or so, I finaly got hold of one.
Unfortunatly, we managed to dropp it, when I was collecting it, so the hood was smasched in thousands pieces, however, I have repaired it and got it working, need to change the typewheel though, since it is badly smashed.

My Idea is to make a wireless card, and use it in my home network ( will probably drive the wife to nuts, I guess) then I can use it as a normal printer.
