Siemens telegraph/telex machine, manufactured in 1968.

The Hellschreiber 80 is a further development of the Hellschreiber
GL 72. Major innovations were the construction of semiconductor technology (no more electron tubes) and the installation of a 5-channel punched tape reader so that texts made on teletype punched tape could be sent. However, the texts are then sent using the Hell method, i.e. as a pixel matrix.
Hellschreiber 80 uses an improved resolution
7 x 9 - pixel matrix. When transmitting, the cam disc is no longer used, but the characters are stored in an electronic switching system.
Pixel matrices are stored in a central memory.

Hell of a cultural monument crop.

The Hellschreiber 80 combines both transmitter and receiver in one device.
For military use, the device is housed in a housing that
Built-in aluminum. A special version was used in NATO

It is in very nice, original condition, not yet fully operational, but if I have time, I will start repairing it.

MANY THANKS TO MY FRIEND CHRISTIAN OE3CJB FOR ADDING THIS RARE SPECIMEN TO MY COLLECTION.
