when you see $20 telex* machine you do not ask question, you drive.

*not a "telex" brand teletype machine - this is its non-union canadian equivalent: The Marsland Engineering 507.

i can't wait to start restoring this to working over over the coming months, years and decades.

the seller said it was her grandmother's teletype, who used it in her Fort McMurray flower shop in the 1970s and 1980s. she used it to place orders to her flower wholesale supplier in Vancouver BC. you can see the wholesaler's contact info on a sticker.
