Thanks for the announcement. I think I may have a current-loop to RS232 dongle somewhere
around here (or I could make one...)

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.
