That is a good suggestion. I don't know Ontario, Canada but look at
OLD industrial facilities that have recently failed, like paper mills,
sawmills, other industrial facilities from the 1960s / 70s. They often
used teletypes for years and then when pulled out of service just put
them in storage as they usually had plenty of space. It is worth
asking...
Also find out who scraps those kind of facilities and ask there.....
Your local ham radio club.....may be a good source.

Old Teletypes were handed out by Bell to hams or deaf for years with a
signed waiver. You might also try asking around deaf organisations.
I suspect a lot of these have ended up in landfills.
