Doug,
another movie, but I am going from memory regarding the amount of Teletype equipment involved,the 1984 production of Final Mission.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091050/fullcredits
I have a 1995 email from the late David Sites listing at least three films which may have scenestaken at the VOA's Baguio Receiver site.
I have a note on the email asking him if he was in at least one scene with the M-28 machines atthe Baguio location.
I've not seen that movie in maybe 25 years.
Seems to me a vague memory that the scene wasn't set up as the VOA receiver site, but maybethe communications center in a stateside police department.
The other two films David said may have scenes at the receiver site were:
Naked Vengeance
American Commandos
Maybe now I will have to see if I can find these great movies!
73

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.
