  • Cool! I ran one of these for a couple of months when I was loaned out to the Naval Communication Station in Norfolk, VA in 1967. We had about 8 of these in the room.

  • That sound brings back memories. i used to work on the ASR 28s on shipboard and ground. The military always wanted them to run at 100 wpm, but they had very little traffic. The 60 wpm sounds sothing after being in roms with nachines going 100

  • This is cool to have old tty on you tube. I was TTY tech for southern bell and worked on these at airports and weather bureaus.

  • This is a UGC-6 fitted with either 60 or 67 word per minute gears.

  • Good God, slow baud rate!

  • Man I love the sound of a teletype running! To think the whole world spoke via these machines for decades...awesome!

  • These are very cool machines. I could watch the print head run for hours! Randy
