[GreenKeys] Wanted : ASR 37

[Cynde Moya]

Thank you all for your great replies, information, and pictures. It looks like I won't have to go to the ends of the earth to find one of these, because just a few miles down are the people and resources of the Museum of Communications. "There's no place like home."

Thanks again, and I'll be back soon for more teletype lore.

My boss suggests that they shipped many to Russia, and that I may be able to find some there. Are there any good sites that show Russian vintage collections, museums, etc?

As I understand it, these do lower-case, and were used on early Unix and Multics systems?

I have forwarded your request to the Unix Heritage Society mailing list.

There was a Russian device that was similar:
