It's certainly "within this purvue". That is a Teletype Corp machine that was in Bell service. I don't know if they're harder than the Model 15 or 19 to service & get running. I think I recall someone saying they were a "lighter duty" machine than the 15 & 19.

I know many in the group run beautiful vintage RTTY stations with a teletypewriter. While I'll likely never be able to have anything as fancy or as sophisticated as most of you with the aforementioned setup I might be able to put together something more simplistic. Is it a reasonable pursuit to set up a station with a teletypewriter or am I barking up the wrong tree? Would it be difficult to interface with a decoder and transceiver (URC-94?)? I admittedly have zero experience with a teletypewriter.

The extent of my "vintage" RTTY experience is a Hal Telereader if that tells you anything.

The reason for my question is I have an opportunity to purchase a Bell model 26 teletypewriter locally. Is this model even within this purview?

I appreciate any and all opinions. Thank you in advance.
