Creed 444 Manual? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I am about to acquire a 444 for RTTY and although there is a lot of sporadic info. on the Web, I wonder whether I could buy, beg or borrow a manual? Have no previous experience of these machines but plenty of vintage gear fiddling experience. Thank you.

You're correct in saying there's lots of stuff on the web about the Creed 444 and RTTY.

Here are some of the more useful links you might like to try:

Thank you very much. I got a bit jumpy about the link for the 'purported' manual. Did not seem quite right! Getrting too cautious in my old age? But many thanks for the other links. I'm still on the lookout for the manual. Best

There was (is) useful info published in the Teleprinter Handbook (RSGB) Denny and Goacher circa 1974. Pages 2.63 to 2.81 including the wiring/interface.
