Hello Kent,

I'd be happy to trade the ASR-33 for a not quite working, post soviet era
submarine clock.

The ASR-33 is set up with a cable for old HP minicomputers, but we can
easily change that. As I collect the old HP machines, that connector is
more valuable to me than the teletype itself.

What sort of system are you going to use this with?

Oh yes, I also have a full set of service manuals, so you'll be able to
keep it running for a long time to come.

I'm located in Leominster MA, a bit over an hour west of Boston.
