     Oh, that's nice. Tools, accessories, and the shipping crate.
That's a Cyrillic machine, with three shifts (RUS, LTRS, NUM)
and three characters on each typebar. If you zoom way in on
the picture that shows the typebars, you can see this.
The RUS shift is the all zeroes character.  This unit comes
from Ukraine from the USSR period, so that makes sense.

    It ought to talk ITA-2/Baudot until it gets a NUL
and shifts into RUS shift.

    It's basically a Teletype Model 14, of which I've
restored several. It shouldn't be that hard to work on.
