I was going to grab that but I've tested my wife's patience enough this month,
between the Mark-8 boards and this teletype I have. I would like to one day have a good
example of a 1973 or earlier glass terminal just to show people the alternative to the TVT
I'm building.

Subject: One last epay for the day, TEC terminal
Since some need to possibly use current loop, I was searching and thought it useful to
bring this to people's attention. The TEC is also one of the terminals in the video I
posted a few days ago related to "Jobs" if you care to look. I've used
these and at the time the only problem I had was dropping them on your foot, they are not
light.
the vendor says that Bitsavers has the manual, which may make this a bit attractive as
well, saving looking all over the place for documentation. The screen doesn't look
great, but might be usable w/o a huge amount of work.
Another thing that ones here may be able to use is that it has the video output option
installed, so one could drive a modern monitor, or presentation projector in a display
situation with this one.
I think the ones we had were a bit fancier, and had a block of indicators on one side or
the other that you could blink, this one does not.

no affiliation, just wish I had room for it, hope someone can use it.
i'll throttle myself for a few days unless I see a random 360/50 or so for sale so I
am not bothering those who don't like these. Apologies in advance.
thanks
Jim
