Well, of course, Irv died several years ago after retiring from United. 
I don't know about the others, but there are a lot of old-time RTTY nuts 
in the woodwork.

I bought the compete set of the RTTY Journal on CDROM and it's very 
nostalgic to scan those TU construction articles.  I never built a TTL2 
but started with Irv's ST3. With all the plug and play stuff, nothing 
comes close to seeing a M28 print from your own handiwork.

$1,000 for a M28ASR was a good price in those days.  I sold a nice one 
to a guy in S. California for three times that amount. On the other 
hand, the Mouse machines were virtually free.
