Having said that, if you end up with a 35, join the mailing list called "greenkeys". ----- I have a very good condition ASR35, but it hasn't been on for 20 years at the least, probably much more than that. I know zero about it (or any tty for that matter). You can bet once I get to that point I'll be asking the tty wizards here for help :) Same goes for a couple ASR33's I have that are actually in marginal condition. For whatever reason, I really want my tty's to run at some point, but they are not super high on the list given limited time. I will get to them some day though! J
