[SML] Teletype Machine

[Pat Kight]

I'd start by checking with newspapers and perhaps the Associated Press 
bureau in Boston - in my experience, those places often have old gear 
shoved in closets and storerooms, and would probably be delighted to 
have you take one off their hands.

As for getting it *working* ... well, others on the list are already 
giving you good advice.

If you do lay hands on one, it sounds like one of those props worth 
keeping around if only to ship off to the next SML subscriber who's 
doing the show.

Pin-fed fanfold printer paper is still available, though not cheap. See 
http://www.appleforms.com/pin-feed-paper-3.html for instance
