- This is a demonstration of the Vintage Radio & Communications Museum of Connecticut's Teletype Model 28 ASR. I tried to show every function - keyboard entry, printer operation, tape perforation, and tape reading. The only thing I don have going on right at this moment is pulling the news or ham stuff off the air. That is my next project with this machine.

Wow. I remember these things from my Navy days. In our A School we had to learn how to read tape by memory. Couldn't do it now. Brings back some good memories.
Yeah, I was Army.
We learned to read tape because the printer didn't work on most tape punches. It is easier to read tape than fix the printer on the tape punch. My 6 years of experience anyway. One year on Diego Garcia I worked 9 months in the fleet center and the teletypes were seldom quiet and we probably sent a couple of hundred miles of tape in that time.
When I signed up for the AF in '82, I went in open electronics. And they had a lot of these Model 28's all over the place. Some Klienschmidts too. But, very few in any kind of use, and that didn't last long. As I remember. But these were indestructible. Once ordered a stripper bail blade, and got a helicopter blade. That was a hoot. Jumped ahead there. Went to school at Sheppard, then a few stops fixing these things, and FFS back to teach them. I was happy in the field. But I was owned, and I had to "volunteer" for Instructor Duty, because the orders I had were pulled from under my feet at the last minute. Whatever, I taught 129's, 141's, and the ubiquitous SRT. Lemon of the century. They moved the school to San Antonio, and I jumped ship. Couldn't hack the humidity.
Joe I believe I was one of your supervisors at SAFB.

Funny - a lot of my AF experiences begin with the same statement - When I signed up for the AF in '82, I went in open electronics.... I was at Sheppard from August 82 to March 83 before shipping off to Osan AB - had to learn KL-7 and KL-51 for that assignment... Did you know Rick Sullivan, JD, Hawkins, or Russ Turner?
Remembering these loud teletype machines, back in day during active duty in the US Army. Man, they never provided ear protection. My ears rang, even after leaving work.
Learned to maintain and repair these in 1979 (Navy Enlisted Code 2342). Kept them in good working order.
Sheppard Tech School Jan - Apr 1974. I remember the old Kliensachmidts there and the torn tape relay training setup. Went on to have a 20 year career as a communicator in the Air Force.
The sound from these Model 28's is very reminiscent of the teletype sound heard from around late 1972 to about 1987 on WCBS Newsradio 88 in New York. Their sound was recorded in-house in their teletype room, and apparently done in a corner where there were three Model 28 ASR's or KSR's operating. It sound was more "light touch" than the more heavy-duty built Model 15's.
I serviced many of them in my job... We even built one from parts in our training course !
I will never forget this sound... I owned a RO Compact, three versions of the KSR and a ASR with gearshift... In my house I had a collection of 74 different machines... Good old times !
My name is Roger Browne and I just bought a new motor could you help me with how to wire this motor#150701 need the motor for Tesla coil there are 2 red wires and 2 black wires coming out the side and 2 black wires coming out the front of the motor My email is rogerbrowne15@gmail.com. PH 604-300-5289 If you could help with this I sure would appreciate it. Regards Roger.
As a former tty repairman both in the Navy (1963 to 1967) and New England telephone and telegraph I repaired The model 28 ASR on my ship the Alfred a. Cunningham..our machines ran at 100wpm..repairs were seldom in the Navy because when to pulled into port they would give you new typing units to swap out..the fact that I had NavyExperience led to a career in the phone company for the next 35 years....to this day it was the most fortoutiousVolunteer job I ever had...very blessed...
I had the model 28ASR in the mid-1970's, it almost killed my back helping haul it upstairs!
Same here! But I was in heaven with the 'upgrade' from a Model 19. 73 de Arnie W8DU
All, I am amazed that information on the KL-7 is readily available on the internet. Once requiring a TS clearance, it's workings are public knowledge, (thanks to the traitor Walker).
It blew my mind, as well. The US quit using them back in '83, but to this day they have not been declassified. Somewhere I read that the U.S. Army left over 700 of these units to the NVA when they left Vietnam.
Now, they're called, "Hero's." Damn shame

Went through the same course exactly four years after you. 28s, Kleinschmidts, KL-7. At that time (1972), Telautograph wasn't covered in the basic course. It was a separate 10-day course.
I SALUTE YOU AS WELL! Country Club?! Ha! The 3775th Student Squadron at the time I was assigned (March 1968 thru Novemebr 1968) was made up of renovated WW II Barracks. I was a yellow rope assigned to barracks #888. I'm almost certain the new dormatories were available by the time you arrived onboard. I enlisted in 1968, was commissioned in 1973 and retired in August 1994.
It also has the printing reperforator, whose type mechanism would be reused in the cost-reduced Model 33.
I last used this model in 1993 on the USS America aircraft carrier. Thanks!
I remember using the no-tape-punch version of this machine to send stories from 1970s Hartford Courant bureaus to the State Desk in the Hartford newsroom. (Larger bureaus had teletype operators re-keying stories from reporters' edited copy.)
@KB4QAA Thank you for dropping by and taking a look. And, thank you for your service.
Trained on the KL-7, but never had to use it for real.
@jameshyoung I'm not sure where we got the ribbon as it was installed before I started taking over the TTY stuff. The other thing is to make sure the print head is clean. Ink likes to hid in between the pins/letters.
The model 28 used a standard typewriter ribbon. Clean the printhead regularly.
I see this Mod 28 is Chadless...It was easy enough if you typed too fast and jammed her up. Brings back some great memories!
"Bell Ringer" !!! "Oboe in the House!" !!! :) Good memz.... Empty out that chad box... lol
The ASR 28 has a chalets tape perferator.
75 thou of an inch clearance on the clutch gaps
The army had klienschmidts, the air force had chicagos, similar to this one. I sure hope we left them all behind in V.N. to frustrate the nva.
Eric haskell this is a Teletype, the company. Teletype was a maker of teleprinters. Their product was the most well known, so people associate the name with the product type. Like kleenex, or Kleeg Light.
We do have a couple of other types of teleprinters; a few from the Army National Gaurd. But this was from a phone company.
Hopefully that wasn't too convuluted
Is very good; is great
kyotango thank you for the comment. I'm glad to have the opprotunity to show you one of my fasinations.
To Brian 94478 - The KL-7 was in the hands of Russians when the Pueblo was seized by North Korea. :(
I remember when the Pueblo was seized. I was going through basic at the time.
yes it is - or rather when running off the tape. My typing isn't fast enough for 60 ;)
I Could do about 45 WPM on a good day.
Is this a Chicago unit?
Eric haskell It was Southern Bell
I spend hundreds of hours on one of these.
Alfa Beta Tel tech?
Not too sure what that means.
@@kellingc O-K Chris, this is the skinny. I'm giving myself away here. I don't usually do that, however, if you were in the United States Navy like I was and went to NTC San Diego to teletype repair school and graduated from same you were inducted into the fraternity called Alfa Beta Tel. I still have my fraternity card that I received whenI graduated from that Radioman "C" school. RM-2342 Teletype Repairman.
If you had a website and could take donations through a third neutral party like PayPal or similar you might get more donations.
the museum does ( www.vmcrct.org ); when this was shot, we didn't - I don't do youtube for money, just stuff I find interesting. if I ever do deside to monatize, I'd up the production values a lot.
TH-cam is making money off of yours and many other videos. Why not set it up for monetization. You get 50% of the take.
Because
1) I don't have the time it takes to make enough off of TH-cam to quit my job
2) It no longer becomes something of joy, but work
3) I don't care if TH-cam makes money off of this.
I was not saying you should quit your job. The monetizing only requires a few minutes to read through the docs and set it up. It might be a little extra pocket change. Once it is set up, you decide which videos you want to are monetized or not with one click. That's all I am saying :D
