I'd watch out for the TEI units... As I recall they used a ferro-resonant
transformer which can offer some rude surprises if not handled carefully.

The CompuPro boxes (later ones at least) did the same I believe, but I'd
have to pull the top off of one of mine to verify.

It would be a workable solution, if not historically accurate. B^}
