A quick question--can you hook a Friden

that kind of thing... if anyone here has experience with one of these,
your input would be greatly appreciated.
You could I guess, but I suspect more people are looking
for such machines as they wish to have spares if they wish to
restore classic machines.If have one to spare, a better use
may be to hook it up to orginal equipment.
This is potentially for the office. We don't have any vintage
equipment, but we'd like to get a typewriter/teletype style terminal
to show off to visitors. There are several people there who have
worked on computers for a loooong time and have a healthy respect for
old equipment, so I think it would be kept in good working condition
and out of the dump.
