Picked up a Teletype model 43 for the museum. —
I found this Teletype for sale in an antique store in Duluth, Minnesota.
Seems to function in local mode, I need to get the cabling figured out and try to get it working in online mode.
UPDATE: 9/2018: I was able to get this talking to a PC with the right combination of cables and null modem adapter, it was sending/receiving at 300baud. However I need to source a ribbon for this, the old one is dried up, and fell apart when I tried to open it up to re-ink it.

Hello. I was wondering if you are going to sell it. ?
Nope, nothing in the collection is currently for sale.
Found this ribbon link: https://shop.usaimagingsupplies.com/Teletype-43-45-Woven-Loop-Printer-Ribbon-430035.htm
I have a 43 myself, it was the first printer on my TRS-80 model 1. 🙂
Yeah, I saw those, I don’t really need a bulk pack though, but it might come to that if I can’t find smaller quantities.
