Do you guys have a functioning RS-232 teletytpe (ASR-33 or KSR-33)
kicking around that might want to be donated to the Exploratorium for
a possible exhibit?

I've seen a lot of model 33 Teletypes, and I've never yet seen one that
is RS-232. They are almost all current loop. I don't recall seeing any
mention of an RS-232 option in the manuals, although that may have
existed as a third-party modification.
IIRC, the model 40, 42, and 43 machines offered RS-232. The 40 is a CRT
terminal with an optional printer, and the 43 and 43 are 5-level and
ASCII (respectively) versions of a compact dot matrix printing terminal.
