What model TTY do you have? If it is a 28, I know a former TTY / Western-Electric engineer who works on those and restores them to life. He restored my TTYs and might be willing to travel if asked nicely. I have three 28 units in my own collection all running on a three way loop with a tube based FSK generator/reader. (The 28 series was the flash-Cadillac of the TTY world.) Best, Joe Consciousness affects the medium. Think happy, be happy, and happiness will follow you.
I believe it's discussed in more detail in the video, but the 1532 = Teletype model 35. The teletypes need lubrication and standard maintenance but otherwise they are in nice shape and should be able to restore. We also have boxes of parts. I checked out all of the 1532's on site. Some are even nicer than the one we have in the museum. http://vintagecomputer.net/pictures/2016/InfoAgeWorkshops/vcfed_univac_1532_... Bill
