Meanwhile I have done about 20+ film jobs with teleprinters in Europe.
Also Valkyrie which was my most impressive and biggest job. Filmed at the
historical Balbelsberg studios
in Potsdam near Berlin.

I decorated a teleprinter room with about 30 machines which were all
authentic regarding the vintage.
Just to complete your list, we used all machines that were common with the
Wehrmacht back in 1944:

Lorenz Lo15 mk I page printer (like Teletype model 15), Lorenz T32Lo/T36Lo
(like model 14/WU2b),
Siemens T34 strip tape printer, Siemens T37 page printer and
Feldhellschreiber.

+ manual punch, tapereaders etc. from Siemens and Lorenz

All machines were working, controlled from several laptops with additional
electronics from the off
behind the scens. ;-)
Most of the machines from my own collection.
The whole job with preparations and historical consulting took about half a
year and about one week
filming at the set.
