Exploratorium looking 4 working ASR-33 or KSR

RS-232 on an ASR-33 or KSR-33 was a third party option. Though, if you have an otherwise normal '33 with pedestal you could cram a current loop/RS232 converter into the pedestal. The Model 40 printer is probably almost totally unusable now, as many of them have had the print band disintegrate over time resulting in type pellets all over the innards of the printer. Also, if the teletype machines are to be run for very long stretches of time over many days and weeks. I would suggest using a 35 machine. It's an unstoppable force in terms of ASCII machines. (Basically it was the 28 mechanism adapted for ASCII.) Also, to what are the Teletype machines being connected? In most cases of the machine being connected to a classic computer; the computer itself expects to see the Teletype as a current-loop device. (At least in terms of machines that were made to talk with teletypes as terminals.) If the machines are being connected together, I believe one can get away with hooking them to one another, no need for current loop conversion. Cheers to you.
