[GreenKeys] New member added to the family: Siemens T37 / 37i - All info needed on this one.

[Henning Treumann]

Hello Per,

manuals for T37s can be found on my server:
see:  teleprinter.net/download

The different suffix letters are not that important. The basics of the T37
are same all over
the different models.
But as I assume you have Danish export versions which have the VERY rare
automatic
letters-figures-shift "memory transmitter". These transmitters were only
made for Scandinavia
to use your special Scandinavian letters without shifting to figures level,
as they are technically
"figures" F, G and H.

Complete machines and spare parts are no problem here in Germany, except
those special
parts for the "memory transmitter".

If you want to get "real" work for your machines, you are welcome to join
our i-Telex network.

best wishes,

Henning
