[GreenKeys] How did you acquire your Teletypes?

[Daniel Jones]

I actually procured the TU before the teletype.  I stumbled across a CV-483 Navy 850 shift demodulator and took it home.  I then researched it taught myself a little about RTTY using glass and then set out for a teletype.  Mark Blair NF6X answered the call to hook another on Mechanical teletype and hooked me up with a really nice M28 KSR.  One thing lead to another a CV-2460 from W5JV Doug Hensley and some messing around and bam on the air with mechanical teletype.  

I mainly get on the MRCG Clatternet and I did make a partial Non clatternet QSO with Bill KE3BK propagation was just not that great and I was only able to get partial copy.  

My collection of vintage military radios and teletype keeps getting bigger.  It’s pushed most of my other hobbies aside.
