[GreenKeys] 32KSR - You can tell it's MATTEL... it's swell!

[Don Robert House]

Wayne,

I have worked on most Teletype machines, from the 12 to the 37.  If 
you would like my personal opinion... I would clean up the 32 and let 
it sit as a static display.  The 32, 33, and 38 were all low cost 
machines and are very frustrating to work on.  I believe the 28 ASR 
to be one of the finest machines Teletype ever made.  I suggest you 
concentrate on it.  Manuals are available on both machines, and you 
can probably find much of what you need on line at http://www.rtty.com

If the 32 you have is a former TELEX all you have to do us hook up 
120 - 130 volts DC, 60 ma to the mounting cord.  To work in the local 
mode the dial has to be blocked in an off-normal position.

If you want to see a 32 in action with great detail, watch your TV 
Guide for a documentary on the life of Robert MacNamara.  The working 
title was "Wilson's Ghost"  We provided all of the IBM and Teletype 
support for the movie.

Good luck,

Don
