Hi!  I just joined this list, having following a series of
breadcrumbs of other places talking  about teletype machines.

I used to have a model 15 TTY with keyboard that I bought in 1977.
Included was the black metal table for it to sit on.
Also included was a model 14 reperf, and a model 14 TD..

I build the Roger L. Smith ASCII-to-Baudet converter so I could talk
to the them using an ASCII keyboard.  My first ASCII keyboard was a Sanders.
Eventually, I used the Model 15 as a printer for my SWTPC 6800
Computer.  I got a lot of use out of it.
My Model 15 came with a manual dated from 1938, and had the AC
asynchronous motor instead of the DC-governor motor.

A few years later, I bought an ASR33 for my computer.  For me, that
was a huge upgrade.
Of course, since then, I've had several printers.

I don't have most of my teletype machines anymore, and I'd like to
replace them.
The last time I moved, the logistics were bad, and it was impossible
for me to be in two places at once, namely Arizona and Florida.
I was in AZ, my mother was just widowed for the second time, didn't
want to marry a 3rd time, and wanted to move to Florida.
She asked me to be her 'roommate' and we would buy a house together
in Flodida.  Which uis what we've done.
My brother-in-law was feeling helpful, and was going to load most of
my posessions onto a U-Haul truck.
That was for later.  The initial move had us contracting a freight
company, the truck was loading, mostly with mom's stuff, and the
select best of my tools, electronics gear, and various items.

After getting unpacked in Florida, I would receive play-by-play
photos of different stacks of equipment at my old house, did I want
to keep this pile or that pile.  Problem was, my instructions were
not carried out.

My ASR33 went to a recycler.  So did the model  15 TTY, and the model 14 TD.
All I have left is the table for the model 15 TTY, and the model 14
reperf, and I'm looking for the other items.
Logistics are a problem for me:  I don't see well-enough to drive
anywhere, and I don't leave my 92-yo mother alone either.  She's a
bit accident prone.

The only place I seem to ever see these machines advertised is on
eBay, and I don't like to buy heavy, high-priced, items over
ebay.  I've been let-down on other items in the past not being quite
as advertised.

Regards,
Steve Tabler
