[GreenKeys] Estrella Warbirds Museum W6EWM RTTY progress

[Mike Kelley]

Hello from the Estrella Warbirds Museum, W6EWM


A big thank you to Christopher, K6FIB, for coming out to the museum and getting us up and running on RTTY.  With a barn full of teletype machines, we found one that will play.  An ASR 28. With the help of a Dovetron terminal unit and a connection to ITTY we were receiving in no time!   A little WD-40 refreshed the ribbon and with a little lubricating, it was printing nicely. 

We have several Kleinschmidt teletypes. The TM-11-2234 is missing a motor. The other two, which are grey (Navy units?)  have running motors but need work. 

We hope to make the Teletype machines a working display at the museum radio room.

73,

Mike K6AJ
