  • thank you so much! so many hours as a young man with this fascinating magic. you preserved it for me forever.

  • @daylightdisinfectant Glad you enjoyed it!

  • I really enjoyed using the ASR-33. Its interesting that we used ours for literally years with minimal service. However, a $5000 name brand copy machine cant last for a month or less without taking a crap!

  • Yeah, the Teletypes held up pretty good. The Model 33 was actually one of the more maintenance intensive models. The Model-15/19 on the other hand, went literally YEARS without any problems. Also, the Model-35 was built like the proverbial "Turkish Battleship."

  • This is really interesting to see. Thanks for posting :)

  • My dad was a math/computer teacher for a junior high. One of my first memories is sneaking out of bed at age 5 and waking up the whole house reading a tape into something very similar. The sound really brings back memories. Thanks!

  • Why does it sound quiet and in the same model on andother vid it has a loud clicety clack??
