Just forwarding this to the list in case there might be some interest
here.
These are old 1950s-era fax machines, not 1990s. Apparently they are
similar to the ones I present here (which is why he contacted me):

They are located in Northern Ireland.

Subject: Desk-fax interest ?
Hello Brent,
I have three Creed Desk-fax machines in my garage and wish to
let them go. Is there any interest in these machines ?
As they are so heavy the transport cost perhaps are higher
than their value !

Drat! Had they been closer (as in I could have collected them), I would
have been somewhat interested.
There's a Rank Xerox RX400 Telecopier going on my bench soon. This is a
1970's vintage analogue fax machine. Alas mine is missing a few parts,
including the telepgone line coupling unit, but I have the service
manual. This is mostly a boardswpper guide, but better than most with an
explanation of how the boards interconenct, what the signals are, tetc.
It also includes a simplified scheamtic of the (misisng) line coupler.
The machine is an interesing mix of discrete transsitors, op-amps (709s
in 14 pin DIL packages) and a custom MOS IC (which seems to be the
control logic, drum motor PLL, etc).

Hey, I have one of those! I even have docs and some paper for it.
Neat stuff!
