Thanks to Henning for telling me about this machine that became available in North London.

I collected the machine Wednesday evening, and here it is sneaking into what should be the dining room


A Creed 444 complete with plinth, built in control unit, and correct copy holder

Obviously this machine must appear on I-Telex - will commence power up operations shortly

Hello,

can you add some photos from the inside please? The front buttons look like a Lo133!?!

Certainly, will take some this evening.

The Lo133 is very similar to the 444 - both were developed at the same time

The Creed 444 is the British Lo133. Both Creed and SEL belonged to the ITT company back then and
the British and German branch developed a machine based on the same design but produced
by each branch themself.

A few more pictures

30+ years of hibernation have not been kind.

Machine powers up, and it has has a run around with the oil can.

No local copy mode at present - transmitter and keyboard all working, but it looks like no action on the receive end.

Rather annoying buzzer as well - think there will be a lot of dirty relay and switch contacts.

Aha!

The Creed 444 is identified as:

299709 ANTOSH G

Found a sticky lever in the transmitter that was stopping the machine state from changing between receive and send

Adding a few shots of the Line Terminal Unit (or FSG)

This is hidden in the stand base.

And a few more

Amazing. This all is "stored " in a Lo133 inside the normal machine.
