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.

I saw a movie sighting post this morning, and decided to update my Teletypes in Movie and TV list.  I do not think it has been updated since 2016!  Their are many new additions, mostly from members here.

See the link below, for photos from some of these films and TV shows.  This site has not been updated in a long time, but many will enjoy looking at it again.  It also has a folder of Teletype - Telecommunications postage stamps, featuring examples of machines, and many examples of paper tape technology.
