Philip,
By the way, it was only about ASR33s. What's an
ASR33? A pile of plastic
and springs, that makes a lot of noise and is ugly inside. I prefer the 5
bit Teletype model 15 (ok, German license builds) as a beautiful
mechanical machine
Each to his own.
saw one. Only 35 and 33 are around here.
35's seem to be rarer than 33's in Europe, you have seen them around ?
What is
the location of that machine, any idea of shipping cost to the UK ?.
Best regards,
Mike Hatch
