Unfortunately, as the company grew, the space that the Museum consumed was needed for office space and the Museum was closed in the late 1970s, with all artifacts put into storage. Luckily, photographs of the Museum artifacts had been taken before it was dismantled, and long-time Teletype Corp. engineer Ransom Slayton used these photos to make a video tour of the Museum as it was in the 1970s. The surviving copy of this video recording was in poor condition, but the original slides used to make the video were available.

Non AI image processing has been used to improve the shadow detail in the original slides and non-generative AI audio processing was used to improve the sound track and remove the background music.
