Balazs, 73468, Czech T100 clone

[levend]

Dear forum members!

Today I finally placed my second machine into permanent operation. It's a Czech clone of the T100 model, made by Zbrojovka Brno. The machine is in quite a good condition mechanically and functions mostly well. Only the carriage return is a bit slow -
The identifier is: 73468 nycip h
Most probably, the device was used in a shoe factory in Nyíregyháza, a major town in the east part of Hungary.
Some photos of the device:

The device still needs to be added to the TLN server; I hope Fred has time to do it in the next few days. The extension number is 12.

Hello Balazs,

thank you for sharing pictures of your nice machine. T100 in the 130 housing are still rare in this forum. I remember only you, Henning and Franz. I hope I will find some time to bring my machine back to life, which is waiting in the cellar.

I saw on YT a video of another Zbrojovka Brno T100 and I had the impression the the font type is slightly different to the German machines. Maybe you can provide a sample of a print of your teleprinter here.

Maybe Fred will read your post here as well, but I think it's better to write him a telex regarding registering your new teleprinter at the server.

Sure, I will provide a full sample font picture tomorrow - today, it's too late to be noisy

The font of the Czech T100 version is slightly different to original Siemens.

This is the font on my machine

T100 in the 130 housing

May I ask where the name of the "130 housing" comes from?

It is the official Siemens term for it. You can find it in some manuals.
Others are case 76 or 175 or 230.

In Germany these covers are normally called "Export case" as they were never sold in
Germany itself. They were common in the Netherlands, Norway, Luxembourg, Austria, USA etc...

As it was the latest design version and Czechoslovakia wanted to continue the production for "some"
more years after taking the license and tools from Siemens, they decided to take also the most modern
case version...

What does the case 230 look like?

Hello Balazs,

thank you for the text sample! I like this font.

I hope the following excerpt of the user manual helps to identify the different housings.

The 213 version can be watched here:

I think, Henning meant the 213.

[DF3OE]

Yes, of course 213 instead of 230. I mixed it up with the 130.
