  • Still have all my photographic slides from the seventies and eighties stored in the boxes that brought us the teletype ribbons.

  • WOWEE.... My dad was a telegraph operator for the Missouri Pacific for 28yrs. His office was just full of these teletype machines up until 1969 or '70. As a kid, i was mesmerized by the machinery and sounds. You had to SHOUT to be heard in his office area. Up until that time, there was still the wooden sounder-box for the telegraph key messages, btw. THANK YOU so much for posting this video. Wunderful ! I recall he used to complain about 'wire thieves' along the tracks too! All Aboard!

  • How heavy is this machine? Incredible, it still works - and I have no idea how it gets the news feed.

  • Wonderful, thanks! Just what I needed to put a smile on :-)

  • the perfect steam punk printer

  • And I thought Dot Matrix was cool.

  • I had one in my shack and used it to print news, coast guard and number stations from all over. I built the first TU from scratch using 88 Mh torodal inductors for the filters. I then got a surplus navy tu which was nice as it had a built in scope and very sharp filters.

  • Dad always said those things were noisy. He wasn't kidding.

  • Gosh! A blast from the past. I used one of these back in the 60s and 70s. Even used one as my computer printer on my KIM-1 computer in the mid-70s.

    If you choose to do another video, show present day folks how we used to create and send pictures on these machines.

    Thanks for the memories.

  • Warms the cockles of your heart, doesn't it. :)
