>>> Just curious if anyone has a working Model 40. Just total assumptions here, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the CRT monitors in those things probably haven't aged well, nor the chains (belts?) in the printers. I guess if they're actually chains, maybe they've survived better.

I have no real insight into how things were for Teletype at the time except that I know they shut down operations by 1990, but I envision them struggling to stay relevant in a world that was becoming increasingly computerized, digital, and microsized. The Model 40 suite seems like it was an attempt to stay relevant but probably didn't didn't do too well. What do I know? I'm just trying to read between the lines.
