I would really love a teleprinter, pref a 444 but there are just none about (bar the one that went for silly money recently on Ebay!).

If you want a 50 Baud test signal, tune just above 10MHz where you will find the German shipping forecasts.
There is a 444 on eBay at the moment up to £255 - last 444 went for £205 .

I should really get around to getting the ones I've got kindly 'donated' by BT when I was recovering telephone exchange bits and pieces for preservation in the 1990's. Even got the teleprinter table and the Telex units with the PSU for the 444 built in..

Also picked an ST5 up for peanuts a year or two ago. Just getting around to getting a TX/RX other than the 70cm ones I already have.
