This week we hoard old teletype machines need more and more parts… We are setting up a wire service corner! Heh! We Will have a computer drive some news to them … it will have Kennedy being shot Men landing on the moon… all the old news stories… the kids can see how the news REALLY came across the desk!
…
I used to work on Teletype machines in one phase of my life and the computer interface electronics will be a snap for me… but what I need is some material on hand so I can sustain 2 displays. I think one at the museum and one out at Cronkite /ASU would be great… but this stuff is old so spares, extra machines etc etc etc.
OK also need the machine wthat would print wirephotos/… anyone got an old one!?
OK need any old signs artwork posters manuals.. ANYTHING to glitz it up!
