I read something on the RECOMP I that it also had the ability to talk to
a "Teletype" device.

Wonder if one of the 35's may have been connected to the RECOMP I.

Even if the console typewriter can't be found, this is still an amazing
find.  The disk-based fixed head main memory on the RECOMP machines is
pretty unique, and has a lot of history behind it (including earlier
digital differential analyzers and easlier computers by Autonetics.  I
also believe that there's a power supply unit that is separate from the
logic box.  When scorounging around, you might want to keep an eye out
for that.
