Anyone know where I might find an ASR-33 Teletype (good condition,
reasonable price, etc.) in the Boston area?

quest for an ASR-33:
What have you got to trade?
Um. Only recently has my wife started to weaken over my "need" for an
ASR-33, and only more recently have I discovered this list--so I have
accumulated extremely little good stuff. (I doubt you will find old
Macintosh bits compelling...)
I do have a Western Union clock ("Self Winding Clock Co., New York"),
but I just got it repaired and haven't even taken it out of the box.
I don't think I could part with it. (My wife likes the clock too.)
The anticipation of restoring its old "U.S. Naval Observatory Time"
claim via my basement server's NTP daemon is too much fun.
I doubt my post-Soviet "genuine" Soviet submarine clock that doesn't
run right would be of interest either.
I think that leaves me with only with the possibility of money to
offer.

Hello Kent,
I'd be happy to trade the ASR-33 for a not quite working, post soviet era
submarine clock.
The ASR-33 is set up with a cable for old HP minicomputers, but we can
easily change that. As I collect the old HP machines, that connector is
more valuable to me than the teletype itself.
What sort of system are you going to use this with?
Oh yes, I also have a full set of service manuals, so you'll be able to
keep it running for a long time to come.
I'm located in Leominster MA, a bit over an hour west of Boston.
