Teletype Model 33

This belonged to my Dad. I remember playing a lot of Startrek(.bas) on it when hooked up to the 'ol Imsai. I'd sure like to get it working. One problem I have with getting it working is I left it behind when I moved! (S/N xyz. It's in storage where I can't get at it at the moment.) I would also be nice to add paper tape to it too.

Help Resources

Wanted to buy

  • Roll(s) of paper tape
  • Typewheel hammer ?felt?
  • Call Control Unit plate under rotary dial with holes for buttons

Goals

  • Restore to operation as an S-100 computer interface

I've got parts to make a 20ma current loop to RS-232C adapter, but hopefully will be able to resurrect something like an Imsai SIO S-100 card in current loop mode for authenticity.

Restoration History

  • 7/30/2015 Retrieved my Dad's KSR and bought an ASR on the way home.
