22.2.2021 Robert
We are just now inviting new members to the Telexmuseum.
A gentleman contacted me in November 2020 about his new RFT T51 teleprinter.
I provided him with the background of T51 teleprinter.
Our communication brought us together at the Telexmuseum.
We both realized on meeting that we had the same love for teleprinters.
I was amazed by Roberts knowledge of fixing things.
At the first meeting we equipped him with komplet i-telex solution.
Just now he has telex number: 924817
Recently he has fixed in short time many things for the museum - e.g. blue Siemens T100, Lorenz punch tape, Hellschreiber, Lorenz FSG, Zbrojovka Brno Dalibor D302 - this is amazing work.
He is also a proud owner of HELLSCHREIBER. Together we have a fifth Hells, just now one of them is working.
He is successful in fixing Teleprinters, because he is dedicated in to going deeper into detail by finding and studying documentation.
Thanks to Robert we have a working PRAGOTRON central big clock and tesla Mine phone. The next upcoming challenge for him is to fix Creed 7B/CTK. He is a great asset to the Teleprinter community.

Moving! Our TELEXMUSEUM has a new residence! The space we had in Lipence got too tight for us so we decided to move our collection to a new location.

We will soon inform you about the exact date of the Open day.
New logo for TELEX MUSEUM!
Our TELEX MUSEUM has a new logo! Our inspiration was a photograph of a teletype operator Edna Craig and an Army Carrier Pigeon who is telling her his story. The photo is from 1944 and the teleprinter in the picture is TELETYPE Typing Reperforator model 14.

6.11.2017 Telex Museum News
Our Telex museum collection is growing rapidly, in the last two months the number of our items has expanded to almost 50 teleprinters. Until now we have had to spread out our collection in many places - in garage, cottage, company stock and garden shed. This is very problematic because it is impossible to keep in order and to show the public. I was looking on the internet for a suitable place to put everything under one roof but without any success. But luckily at this time I was speaking to our company landlord and she had the idea to use her relatives 125 m² barn in Lipence. This came at the right time because we had just got 50 teleprinters which were due to be delivered at any moment. These 50 teleprinters were the first part of the collection to be introduced to their new residence. Since this time we have been busy moving our collection. A lot of people have been asking us when will the museum be open. And we have told them, that the open day is approaching. We are thinking about May - but we need more dedicated people to help us make our telex museum wonderful and to bring happiness and satisfaction to all lovers of communication technique. When you visit us you will be able to sit on historical postal bench from the Fernmeldemuseum Bielefeld.

Je tam i pěkné video.
14.3.2016, Siemens T1000 - právě přišel z Británie
Má trochu zoxidované konektory, ale jinak se zdá být v pořádku. Chybí mu klávesnice, je určen pro příjem. Tahle mašina už je plná elektroniky. Zakoupeno na eBay.
Co na dálnopisu napíšete, to vám nikdo nevezme
