Hi,

Glad to be here. I'm investigating purchasing a real mechanical teletype machine for decoding amateur RTTY and various other fun, and wondering whether the prices I'm seeing on eBay for these units are reasonable. Currently there's a Model 15, which is the one I'd want, listed for $479. He had it for $500 earlier. High shipping costs, of course. I'm also looking for an FSK demodulator. Seeing similarly high prices for those. Are they just uncommon enough these days that that's what you have to pay?

Some background on me: I have been tinkering with old equipment my whole life, have restored several typewriters, radios, various other equipment, but I've never done anything with TTY before. I've been doing a lot of reading, so everything I know comes from that at the moment.

Collin
