Today is a happy day! Just got an ASR-33 teletype....well at least almost...
Seriously, I just received almost all of the key parts for a TTY. I have the
main assembly (with punch, the keyboard, and the reader. All that is missing
is the Power Supply and case. Thanks to David Gesswein (
pdp8.net) I also
have a full set of prints.
While I did a reasonable amount of work on these beasts back in the mid '70s
it has been a long time, and many of those brain cells have disappeared.
Since I know that a number of people on this list have working teletypes, I
would greatly appreciate being able to speak with some of them to come up
with a game plan for actually getting this operational.
Please contact me either via this list, or e-mail dvcorbin(a)optonline.net.
Thanks in advance.
David
ps: Where else can you get a multi-function device that does NO Graphics, NO
Lower Case Characters and prints a fantastic 0.1389 PPM!!!!!!! (It also will
head a small enclosed space, and provide enough noise to mask outside
activity!)
