Finally pulled the trigger on a purchase I've been umming and aahing about for maybe the last year. I now have a pair of Teli Contact portable acoustic-coupler Telex transmitters on the way, with the matching printers.
I think these are cool not just because they're handheld Telex TTYs, but also because they had crypto onboard... initially DES, but later on a backdoored NSA-supplied algorithm: https://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/philips/px1000/
