Three things to consider.Heavy to shipNo 45 baudNo ribbon cartridges available except what might be in the printers already. I can supply one for someone to 3D model/print.
Two years ago I gave a USN supply officer a batch of used ribbons to re-ink for the missile subs still using UGC-136.
That said, they are beautiful machines and it would be a shame for them to get scrapped.
I’d be happy to get another.

The storage/transport/distribution will cost more than the teleprinters.
I have done this before with terminals, whoever does this, if anyone does, is a mensch, and I will take 2 😂
I am surprised though we have no greenkeyers near vegas. I know a guy I think is there who would help.

______________________________________________________________If anybody has a good storage place within a few hundred miles on the way back or in northern Utah and is willing to help me play distributor, I'd be up for covering part or all costs with the understanding that I'd break even again by selling the machines over time. I could likely go down there and pick it up and deliver to your warehouse on the way back home, too. I could take maybe as much as one pallet home to store and distribute myself, along with one machine for my own collection.
I just don't have room for eight pallets for indefinite storage myself. I would love the adventure of saving them, though. I wish I had a warehouse to rescue machines and give them a temporary home until someone else comes along. Land out here these days is stupid expensive for how crappy it is. Alas.
Assuming I'd need a 20 foot truck and they can load up with a forklift for me, it'd be around $800 for the truck plus around $250 in gas and around $300 to fly down there and get myself to the warehouse. Add a 15% transaction fee on top of selling price (that's what the listing says). That puts the average cost per machine about $90 before shipping to whomever wants them, assuming no other unexpected costs of acquisition.
Of course, if they drop the price more or are willing to sell for a bit more than what they could scrap it for, might be worth waiting.

For sure, I'd be in for a couple; I'd be willing to pay the ratethey're asking, but shipping 8 500lbs pallets to WNY is going to beproblematic. ;-)
I sure hope they don't go to scrap, that's a neat device.
