#1

After a year of operating i-Telex and becoming a serious collector of teleprinter machines (I now have 32), I made this short video to show Sean Williams what my home system had become, and sent it to him earlier on today. He has been a great support during this time, to me and to my work getting i-telex into Amberley Museum. I must also mention Henning who was very helpful to me in finding my first macjine (a T100 with an FSG) and then, with Sean, getting my i-Telex system configured correctly last December - I remember putting a post up here about my lovely Christmas present!

From left to right: T100 with FSG, Creed Model 7E with Unit, Telex #2 and Creed Model 444 with Unit, Telex #6.

I'm learning a lot about how to restore and maintain the Creed Model 7 and the Unit, Telex devices (our British FSGs). If any of the firmware experts on here want a job - please fix the bug in the double current version that requires you to hold down the 'Dial' key while dialling! You'll see in the video that holding the phone while dialling with one hand is not easy!
