I have a old teletype that I received for free at a auction years ago as the winner of the lot it was in didn't want to mess with it as they are very heavy for there size. They are a interesting curio from the past. I will have to dig mine out and see just what I have.

yeah, I've got an old teletype too. there is actually a group out there that restores and uses these. what color is it? Blue was telegraph, green was Western Union. there was a group that converted these for the deaf to use I believe in the 70's, leading to the invention of closed captioning or something like that I read when I was researching. you can also download a pdf file of the original service manual for these.
