Subject: Teletype Model 37 YRPE800 Reperforator – Serial 002824

Hello,

I recently acquired a Teletype Corporation Model 37 YRPE800 reperforator, serial number 002824. The machine appears substantially complete but has been stored for many years and I have not attempted to power it up.

I also have approximately ten rolls of paper tape that were stored with the machine.

I'm trying to learn more about this particular YRPE800 configuration, its historical use, and its approximate collector value. I may eventually offer the machine for sale, but I would first like to make sure it goes to someone who understands and appreciates this equipment rather than having it scrapped.

I have detailed photographs of the machine, identification plate, mechanism and paper tape and would be happy to provide them.

Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.
