Restoring vintage teletype.
Photos are in chronological order
It just started to rain!
Yes, I reformed the capacitors. With current limited, took an hour each. I also
replaced the thyratron grid resistors. They were way out of spec.
Done. That's No. 1 of 2. The other is on the shop floor waiting for a strong back to
move it up to the bench.
Now maybe we'll work on something less challenging...
I've got the Tempest now working in spite of lacking good documentation. I added
an internal loop supply with SSR keying and a switch to flip high and low tones.
I also removed the KOS board as I could not find a schematic for troubleshooting..
Looking pretty good!
Now what I need is a M14 Reperforator. Let me know if you have one for me!!
Here's a Model 15 I restored now printing ITTY
This was from the Bell System. The cabinet was an ugly weathered brown covered in bird crap!
It still needs some correct key caps
