[GreenKeys] New to list and Teletype 43

[Greg Miller]

Hi everyone!
  I'm new to the Greenkeys list.  I've always loved RTTY equipment and
boatanchors, so I was glad when I found this list!

  Forgive me as I'm a little "green" when it comes to this type of equipment... 
I have a Teletype model 43 that I'd like to learn more about.  It seems to work
fine via the test and local mode.  I'm wondering how I can use it for RTTY work
- I'm assuming I would just need a TNC to connect it to?  I know I could just
use a PC for that, but what fun is that??  :)  
  Also, does anyone know where I can find a manual?  I also need a source for
the ink ribbon (or some way to re-ink the one I've got).

  Are there any good reference books on the subject of classic RTTY equipment I
should read?

  Thanks for your help!

PS - I'd like to find some of the older teletype equipment someday, but I
figured the 43 would be a place to start.  Anyone have any teletype stuff they
want to get rid of in the Western New York (Buffalo) area?
