Not really. Check with your nearest ham radio geezer. :)
I dunno about that. Having spent most of the 80s doing lots of ham
radio, I knew dozens of hams in the NJ/PA area, and (nature of the
beast) several in far-away places. I never knew a single one who had a
Teletype. Not one.
I've been looking for an ASR-33 since about 1989, and finally got one
about a year and a half ago. I didn't really shake the trees, but I did
ask pretty much everyone.
I suspect these aren't as common as many people seem to think.
