Yes - I restored a T32Lo at Bletchley Park a couple of years ago.  Nice bit
of gear.  The only problem was that one of the selector magnets was open
circuit - and I replaced it with an identical unit from a Teletype.

I know the chap who is trying to sell this gear - he offered it to BP, but
they wanted him to donate it and he wanted to sell it.

The terminal unit is interesting - I think that the teleprinter and terminal
unit were parts of the WWII enciphering system using the Lorenz SZ42.  BP
has a working (the *only* working) SZ42 on the planet.

I suspect that he has it overvalued, and it won't get a single bid, let
alone his reserve.  Shame really - it is a significant piece of history, but
it needs to be realistically priced.

Cheers
