[GreenKeys] TTY repairman/installer needed in Brooklyn, NY

[Duncan Brown]

I just spoke to Jose Pavon, the TV show Prop Master that  was looking 
for some TTYs for a TV show Newsroom.
They have managed to find one M15 and may be getting a couple more.

Jose is looking for someone who could "check out" his M15. This would 
probably also entail getting it set up with a loop supply and interface 
to a computer so that they can send text to the machine. Machine is now 
in Brooklyn, NY

Anyone interested?

Contact Jose at  pavon.jose at gmail.com  or 347-526-5497

Thanks,

Duncan

Hello There,
My name is Jose Pavon, the Prop Master on a television show based in New 
York titled the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. We are currently on our 5th 
season and we are looking for a vintage teletype machine for one of our 
sets, I was hoping that maybe you guys can help us source one or guide 
us in the right direction as far as what would be ideal equipment that 
would work in our scene. Please let me know if there is a good number 
where you might be reached.
thanks in advance

I spoke to Jose and they are looking for a machine for a TV Studio set 
in 1960.  They would like to lease or buy a machine.  I offered to sell 
them a M28 we have that is without a printer for $100, that I thought 
would be good for a prop.  But Jose would like something that works and 
apparently acts like a real machine (spitting out paper).

The AWA Museum does not have a working M28 we want to get rid of and I 
told him that having the machine operational would be more complicated 
and they could just fake the printing. But he came back to me this AM 
saying they would really like something operational and could I help him 
find a working machine. So I told him I'd list it here on Greenkeys.

So, anyone have a working M15 or M28 they would like to lease out or 
sell to Jose?

(Warning - there have been some horror stories of people who leased out 
equipment to movie or TV production companies and when they got their 
machine back, it was pretty beaten up. So selling a unit would be the 
best way to go and then they don't have to pay to send it back.)

If you have something to offer Jose, please email him directly at 
pavon.jose at gmail.com


Thanks & 73,
