This teletype has been available on e-bay for at least a month, and no one is bidding on it:

At some point, I want to get a teletype - and was thinking about the ASR33, but after watching curiousmarc repair his, I was a little worried about the amount of expertise that went into getting the rather fragile looking and complex 33 working. I might be better off waiting for one that is in known working condition.
As far as I know (which isn't much..) the model 35 is better constructed than the "popular" ASR33. So, I was just wondering why no one seems that interested in this teletype. Is it the price, or is it obviously broken or missing something? Maybe just the size and 'pick-up' only. Just wondering if there were any obvious red-flags.
