I have recently added another operational teletype to the museum
teletype collection which now includes a Model 28 ASR, KSR-33, ASR-33,
Fairchild Teletypesetter Standard Perforator, and AN/UGC-504 (same as
US AN/UGC-136AX) terminal/printer aside, from of course, phones,
phones, and more phones!

These can all be demonstrated to museum visitors, and reside in the
museum entrance-way.

This ASR-33 Machine donated by Catherine Filmore two weeks ago. This
machine was manufactured in the early 60's and was collected from the
University of Ohio radio station in the late 60's by Catherine's late
husband, Ivan to be used as a computer i/o device. It has been in
excellent storage for many years and was in near mint condition.

I myself, back then used a very similar KSR-33 for that purpose. The
KSR version was the same, only minus the paper tape handling
equipment. That machine also is still part of the museum's
collection...

I have posted a video of this machine to YouTube showing an external
view, then a view with cover open, and finally pans over to show the
Telebyte M65A interface controlling the serial output of the computer
and converting the computer's RS-232 output to 20 m.a. current loop
for the teletype.

From that video, you can view two short videos of my Model 28 ASR
teletype.
