Off topic here, but going with the trend.
I, as others here, along with being interested in Teletypes (mainly for
me, the 33/35), also have an interest in old computers.

I have a very nice, working (for something on-topic) Teletype 33ASR
tabletop, a couple of old TI Silent 700-series portable terminals, a
Televideo 925, three Heathkit H-19 terminals, a Digital Equipment
DecWriter II with replacement main-board that does graphics, and a
Televideo Personal 
Terminal.

Along with those, of course, all of the calculators in the Old
Calculator Museum.

So much to tinker with, so little time....

Best to all,
