The moment I love best is when I get a call to tell me that somebody has a teleprinter for me.
Last week Mr. Kučera called me from Brno. He told me he had just opened a sealed box which had been in his stock for many years, and found inside an unused T100 Zbrojovka Brno. I was delighted to hear this. We made a quick agreement and in a week we had the teleprinter in our museum.
This piece was shipped from Zbrojovka Brno on 8.3.1991 - it is about 26 years old.
In 1991 the internet came to the Czech Republic. Despite modern technologies the teleprinter worked along with the internet until 2008.
Zbrojovka Brno never produced any more modern electronic teleprinters (modern than T100) - in the eastern communist block electronic teleprinters were produced by the company RFT in DDR (type F2000). You can read more when you click here
