[GreenKeys] Teletype model 33

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Hi   Vladimir   there was also a  teletype  supplied  rs-232 adapter on 
some. when we got  all the 33's  from  phx union high school that were used  
with their  hp-2000f  timeshare system we bought -
 
 - they were all on added dolly stands and  had   the   real  teletype 
issued  rs232  adapter to connect  to datasets  a  bit  foggy I think there was  
20 or 30 of  them. wish I had  saved some of these... but  heck that was 
over 25  years  ago... But!   be advised  they  do exist on  units out there 
and  back in the day they were extremely reliable.

Your best bet is to find one on the European  continent.  They are big
and heavy and expensive to ship.   Getting one sent from the US would
be pretty expensive.  They need to  be properly secured before shipping or
things will need to be repositioned  before they can be operational again.
I believe there is some sort of bolt  that holds things in place?  I don't
recall the details.

As for  using it as an RS-232 terminal, that can be done.  Most  (all?)
teletypes are setup for current loop communication (20 mA for  model
33, 60 mA for other models), so you will need a current loop  to
RS-232 converter.  These are easily purchased and/or constructed  if
you are handy with electronics.
