Hey guys,

 

Further to our conversation - I was looking at this beast:

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Teletype-equipment-1-model-28-writer-1-reperforater-
1-50vdc-supply-etc-/121791042544?hash=item1c5b4fd3f0:g:UR8AAOSwnDZUJHWs

 

Wasn't sure if it was two units?  The first couple of pics look different.
Anyway, if I understood correctly, it was possible (and possibly done in the
1970s by hobbyists) to convert one of these baudot teletypes to ASCII and
use with a computer?  This one is out of my reach since the auction is pick
up only.  But I kind of like the look of the Model 28 and I understand
they're pretty bulletproof once you have them working.  I'm just not sure if
this would work, and if this particular one is ASR or what, because it
mentions a reperforator and from what I read 28s that came with that had a
tape reader also?

 

Brad
