This month, I have rediscovered an old friend. Fred Schmidt, N4TT, has been running Typetronics in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, since the mid-1960s. I remember Typetronics when I was getting started about that time in ham radio, and especially when I was entering into the world of digital communication. Here is your source for all things, and I do mean all things, related to Teletype machines.
Parts including gears, keytops, covers, typebars, and even cranks are all available.
Not satisfied with parts, Fred also stocks manuals for just about every machine, and consumables such as ribbons, paper tape, and paper. All of these, by the way, encompass not only machines of the Teletype Corporation, but Kleinschmidt and Mite teleprinters as well. And besides all of these goodies, the stock at Typetronics also includes a number of terminal units, tubes, tools, and other accessories. In short, Typetronics is a one stop shop for all of your teleprinting needs. Contact them at P.O. Box 8873, Ft.
